Hello and welcome to COVID Communiqué 24. We hope you all received and have had a chance to go over your new version of In This Together [available at https://bit.ly/2STXGN1]. We hope, as well, that having a single, updated plan that includes input from all over our diocese makes you feel well supported as we head into what promises to be a challenging winter for everyone. Once again, we’ll need your help to keep the plan as useful as possible—if you see anything that needs fixing, or have ideas for improvements, please let us know through C19helpdesk@ottawa.anglican.ca.
This might also be a good time to review your parish website: many of them are still carrying older information—perhaps talking about “reopening in September” or from even earlier in the pandemic. Now that In This Together version 2 is out, you can bring fresh eyes (and fresh information) to your messages, and rewrite them, if you need to, to speak to where we are today. No other thoughts for you today, but as always, C19helpdesk@ottawa.anglican.ca is the email for any questions or special concerns you have.
