Staying healthy and safe

We recognize and thank those who have kept our community safe since the onset of the pandemic. We have been privileged to partner with public health and community organizations to coordinate action, and provide assistance.

The Society notes the importance of responsibly bringing our community together, and while our community is generally back to pre-pandemic operations, we recognize the importance of remaining vigilant and maintaining appropriate safeguards for a range of situations. Please follow us on our Facebook or Instagram profiles for the latest updates.

The following general safety measures are currently in effect at our facilities:
