NEW: The health and safety of all our returning members are a top priority for the Board of Directors. While on the premises, it is important to wear a mask at all times (the exception is eating or drinking in the MP 1 room only), be doubly vaccinated, respond to a few COVID/Delta questions, and maintain a physical distance of at least two metres when socializing.
During the week of October 11, 18 and 25, the Gloucester 50+ Centre will continue to offer a limited amount of drop-in activities on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, followed by a light lunch. It is the hope of the Board of Directors to be able to revert back to a more normal schedule of drop-in activities in November if possible. Stay tuned for more details later in the month. NOTE: The Centre will be closed on October 22 for training.
