Our members are amazing! Thank you for your continued support and cooperation over the last few years as we worked hard to keep everyone safe. Given our current environment, at a recent Board meeting, it was decided that effective March 1, 2023, we will move to a masking optional with exceptions model. What does this mean for you? When you come to the Centre, you will no longer need to wear a mask. The exceptions are masks are required when participating in the transportation program or if you choose to wear a mask. YWALC will remain a mask friendly Centre. This is a big step for us all however, we feel it is the right time to do so. As we move into this phase, it is now more imperative then ever to self-assess at home and if you are not feeling well and /or are experience any of the following new or worsening symptoms, please stay home:
sore throat shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
runny nose temperature equal to or more than 38°C
sneezing cough
feeling feverish chills
fatigue or weakness muscle or body aches
new loss of smell or taste headache
abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting
feeling very unwell
Once again thank you members, volunteers, instructors, fellow Board members and of course our amazing staff – our Centre could not be the wonderful and vibrate place it is without YOU!
