… Chapter Communiqué
reminded of just how many essential services are involved in keeping us all safe. They are workers who are con- sidered critical to preserving life, health and basic societal functioning in our towns and cities and beyond and who despite the risk to them- selves and their families, got the job done. Many others stepped up to support our hard-working front-line workers to share their strength so they could accomplish miracles in often very difficult jobs. We applaud and thank every one of them for their care and commitment. Like it or not, we’ve settled into rou- tines of working at home and attend- ing to business as usual however that may have evolved. Day to day we are dealing with the realities. There are so many unknowns, even when there is so much information available. We can and must do this together. Look out for each other, be kind to each other, follow the guidelines and be safe for yourself, your loved ones and for those in the communities we live and work in. While the re-opening program continues, we are reminded to follow the guidelines as much as possible, including “Stay Home” as much as possible and take extra cau- tions when out and about. Remember that even if you do not have symptoms, you may be a carrier. We must all operate with best prac- tices to keep safe. If you do develop
symptoms follow the Middlesex- London Public Health guidelines. London’s COVID -19 Assessment Centres are operated by the London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph’s Health Care London, the Thames Valley Family Health Team, the Mid- dlesex-London EMS, the Middlesex- London Health Unit and the City of London. Check out this website for locations and hours of operation. You can also monitor cases, where the summary is updated at 12:00 pm daily, in our area here. We are all tired of physical isolation. The virus is not. You are reminded that wearing a face covering when physical distancing is a challenge will show that you care for others. For more about face coverings, go here. You can also follow openings on the City of London website.
Membership Renewals
The membership renewal process was different this year. We took into account the manner in which we could avoid the spread of the virus, so the renewals went via email. Thank you so much to all of you who have been so prompt with your responses and con- tinued support. We truly appreciate it. EFT is avail- able now – transfers can be made to finance@ccilondon.ca. We are especially pleased to receive your greetings letting us know how you are doing through these uncertain times. From ac- counts, we are expanding our horizons and learning new ways to fulfill our responsibilities to the communities and to reach out and touch family and friends. Thank you all.
TK
We share our heartfelt condolences with all who have lost family members and dear friends during these past months. Their grieving process, that would ordinarily include those close to them, who could best help them through this heartbreaking time, was marred dramatically with restrictions that undoubtedly amplified their sadness and grief. May your memories keep you strong.
