Due to the dramatic increase in numbers of cases of COVID in the past few days, the Regional Council COVID Response Team recommends that communities of faith close their buildings (including worship and rentals) and move to online or outdoor worship services. In communities where online worship is not an option, we advise you to proceed with extreme caution for scheduled in-person Christmas Eve services, and curtail other events.
The COVID Response Team will meet again in early January to assess the situation at that time. Thanks for your continued care and compassion for your communities.
