We will continue to provide updates on any changes to access to our programs and services across our various communication channels (i.e. here on our website, on our Facebook page, and on our voicemail system.) In the days and weeks ahead we encourage people to be proactive about caring for their own well-being, as well as empathetic and considerate towards those directly affected. We wish our community good health and steadiness in riding through yet another one of life’s challenging waves.
