Event Announcements

August 9, 2021

Hi, everyone, it has been a while since I last communicated with you and for that I apologize. I hope this email finds you all well and enjoying the warm sunny weather.

The last year and a half has been like no other, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. This Pandemic has impacted all of us with seniors being particularly vulnerable. My hope is that you are all safe, have had the opportunity to get vaccinated, and have started to enjoy, slowly, some form of normality.

While we still have bridges to cross related to the Pandemic, I thought, on behalf of the Executive Committee, I would like to share with you some details related to our chapter and next steps.

Terry Miller has been working with the IFL and passed on some of the items that I will share with you. Firstly let me offer my thanks to Terry for his efforts as well as to Denise Valleau and Ben Bocian for their on-going support regarding membership enquiries, during this difficult time.  

• The IFL remains closed until further developments, based on regulatory decisions.
• The earliest we would be allowed to hold a quarterly meeting would be early 2022, again depending on guidelines and regulatory decisions.
• Terry was able to tentatively reserve Friday, December 10th, 2021, for a Holiday/Christmas luncheon, which is once again dependent on opening of the IFL.

Should you have any questions about the chapter, please don't hesitate to contact us.

That's all for now, but as new information is made known to us we will share it with you.

In the meantime I hope you can spend quality time with family and friends, enjoy the warm weather and stay safe. I know that when we finally all gather we will have plenty of stories to tell each other.

My very best to you all and hope you all enjoyed the Olympics and how successful Canada was.
