I hope everyone had a special and unique Easter. Connecting with family may have been challenging with the call to stay-home in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We are very lucky that, in today’s world, we have several options to stay in touch – church celebrations via live-streaming, sharing FaceTime with relatives, perhaps creating a little family video to share may be exciting, etc.
Social distancing is essential to reduce the number of people contracting the virus. We are in this together, and together we can make a difference. To quote Dr. Deena Hinshaw, “COVID-19 has forced us to make some extremely difficult decisions. We have had to weigh lives against livelihoods. And in order to save lives, I have had to make recommendations that will take away livelihoods for many Albertans over the next several weeks to months.” Check the website for some reference links for assistance.
Check the website and Facebook for more community activities to be keep the community active during the prevention measures and self-isolation.
Stay tuned, Kingsland is launching the “Community Connecting – Self-Isolation 2020 Art Project” series over the next 3 months.
