March 17th Statement:
To our Caregivers,
Over the last few days we have been carefully monitoring the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation. While the Public Health Agency of Canada still currently considers the public health risk posed by COVID-19 as low, the Alberta Government has put into place many proactive measures to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our province.
The health and well-being of our community is our top priority and so we believe it is important to take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety. We believe that it is our duty to do what we can to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
Therefore, from March 16th to March 31st our office will be closed to the public. This means that all in-person programming will now be offered online or postponed.
