Dear Friends,

Greetings!

Please Note:
Current Information on COVID 19 PREVENTION..... Message From Public Health

"Common risk factors identified across the exposure settings
· Socializing outside of one’s own household where talking, eating and drinking was involved – whether that occurred in homes, bars and restaurants, patios or parks.
· Close contact in small spaces during social and workplace settings – indoors at home and in sports venues, small poorly ventilated spaces such as locker rooms, cars, meeting rooms, and break rooms.
· Inadequate/inconsistent mask use when interacting with people outside of one’s own household in crowded environments and where physical distancing is not maintained – when socializing, coaching, teaching or caring for friends, family, students or clients
These locally identified risk factors align with what the World Health Organization has identified as the ‘Three Cs’ where COVID-19 spreads more easily, particularly when all three overlap: 1) crowded places with many people nearby, 2) close contact setting with close-range conversations, and 3) confined and enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.
This brings us back to the notion of learning to maintain a balance, with COVID in our community. OPH continues to work on communication strategies to help spread this message, including but not limited to building on the new One Million Reasons video campaign which we would encourage you to consider sharing within your channels. And, while we continue to communicate with and engage residents on the COVID-19 response, we are also taking care to address other harms to health, especially as the weather gets colder".

Last Friday approximately 50 members attended the Zoom Meeting. New Members were identified. This Friday being the last Friday of the month we will Celebrate the Birthdays of members born in the month of November. If your birthday is in November please come forward and let us celebrate.
This year November 30th is Gurupurab. A very significant day in India and in the sikh community throughout the world. We celebrate Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Birthday. This celebration is also referred to as Prakash Utsav, which means the "birth of light"
Let us focus our songs and poetry around birthday theme.
