IMPORTANT 50+ ACTIVITY CENTRE UPDATE: IMPACT of COVID-19
04/11/2020

A Message from President Sue Hunter:

Further to the last email sent to you in March, the initial 4 week suspension of activities is set to expire on Monday, April 13th.

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, effective today, April 11th, 2020, all Brockville 50+ Activity Centre activities will be cancelled for the remainder of this semester. (Through May 31st, 2020)

In coming to this difficult decision, we paid particular attention to the Province’s prohibition on gatherings of more than 5 people, and the strong appeal for everyone to stay home during this critical time.

We are also heeding the words spoken by our Prime Minister who told us, in no uncertain terms, to “stay home.”

In this rapidly changing environment, we believe this is the best decision for all Brockville 50+ Activity Centre members.

We wish everyone good health, and we look forward to the day that we can get back to getting out and doing the things we love to do.

Thank you to everyone for doing your part in helping to flatten the curve of this terrible virus.

There will be further communication in August regarding the fall semester. You will receive an email as well as the website, fiftyplusbrockville.ca will be updated at that time.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

President, Board of Directors
Brockville 50+ Activity Centre

Income Tax Return Preparation Assistance Program Resumed
04/06/2020

In the February newsletter we brought to your attention a program offered to low income earners by the Volunteer Centre of St. Lawrence-Rideau.

The service provided free advice and assistance in preparing income tax returns. The Volunteer Centre office closed due to the Cofid-19 pandemic and this meant the program had to be suspended.

We are now happy to inform you that the Centre is resuming the service, effective Wednesday April 8, making contact with clients over the phone.

For details access Income Tax Program.

Keep safe and well.

IMPORTANT 50+ ACTIVITY CENTRE UPDATE: IMPACT of COVID-19
03/16/2020
A Message from President Sue Hunter:

As many 50+ participants have asked questions and been concerned about the spread of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the Brockville 50+ Activity Centre has made a decision to suspend all activities, effective Monday, March 16th for a period of four weeks. We will then reassess the situation and update all members accordingly.

While there does not appear to be a confirmed case of an infected person in Brockville at this time, we would like to do our part in reducing gatherings of groups to help reduce the potential of local infection.

This decision is in keeping with the province of Ontario, that is closing schools, day cares, sporting events and other large gatherings over the upcoming weeks.

In addition, all Retirement and Long Term Care Residences in Ontario now have visitor restrictions in place, which means no scheduled 50+ activities will be permitted at those locations.

Given that all activities are cancelled for the next 4 weeks, starting Monday March 16, the Brockville 50+ Activity Centre office will remain closed as well.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

President, Board of Directors
