COVID-19 is something that we are all going to have to face together. Our primary concern is the health and safety of Ontarians.
We hope you are staying safe and healthy.

Thank you to all the province’s essential services workers and those on the front-line. You step up everyday to ensure individuals, families and seniors have what they need to stay safe and healthy.

Thank you to everyone else who is staying home and practicing physical distancing.
 

It is important to listen to the advice of Public Health experts: 

• Wash hands frequently
• Avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth
• Avoid contact with people who are sick
• Practice social-distancing
• Stay home if you’re not feeling well
• If you are concerned or suspect you have the virus, call
  Telehealth Ontario: 1-866-797-0000 or
  Ottawa Public Health: 613-580-6744

We will be publishing our Newsletter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays now.
