The situation continues to evolve in the Province of Quebec and the Estrie region and in order to respect measures aimed at limiting the presence of COVID-19 in the wider community, the Association’s offices remain closed until further notice however some of our activities have resumed via videoconferencing. Please contact Association staff via email to find out more; please do not leave a phone message at either one of our offices. Staff email addresses can be found here https://townshippers.org/the-team/
We will keep you informed as more information becomes available via this page. In the meantime, remember the following:
- Wash your hands often with warm running water and soap for at least 20 seconds.
° If you do not have access to soap and water, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with the inside of your elbow or using a tissue.
° If you use a tissue, throw it out as soon as possible and wash your hands after.
- Avoid touching your face (eyes, nose and mouth).
- Stay home unless absolutely necessary (groceries, pharmacy, errands for a vulnerable person).
- If you must go out and about it is strongly recommended that you wear a mask.
