SPECIAL NOTICE: Cancelling all group walks for the next 28. days - Nov. 15, 2020

 

Remember When?

Now that Toronto has been declared a red zone, the City and Public Health have tightened restrictions in an effort to decrease the spread of COVID. We are being asked to stay home except for essential services and to only meet in person with people who live within your household - whether you planned to meet inside or outside.

In other words, solo walking is excellent; family walks are excellent; group walks (even a small group) are discouraged. These restrictions are in place for the next 28 days.

Sorry to say, at least for the next few weeks:

I will stop sending the weekly blog. 

We will no longer meet for any of the usually scheduled Shore Things activities......

Be safe. Keep moving (alone) and keep well. 'Til we meet again....
