Happy Easter Weekend - Announcement from Chief Bob Gloade

Easter weekend is quickly approaching. What is normally an important and busy time for families, with church celebrations, family dinners, Easter egg hunts and visiting other family members and friends, this year MUST be different. By following strict public health measures such as physical distancing, washing our hands, and staying at home, we will give our family and friends the best chance of staying healthy through this pandemic.

We must each do our part this weekend and beyond to keep our family, friends and community members safe. While we want to celebrate Easter, we have to do that responsibly. We have to stay home, celebrate at home only with those you live with, and celebrate with other family members and friends virtually through Face Book, Zoom, Skype and by phone.

I want to remind our community members to not visit other homes, to not allow visitors to come to your home, and to not gather in groups outside your home or in the community. We need to follow and respect the restrictions the provincial government has put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Our community needs to get this right. If we’re irresponsible this weekend, and not listen to public health measures, we could see the results of our poor decisions in the coming weeks if we catch and spread this virus among our families and friends. Please remember that staying home can save the lives of those we love. Be strong and stay safe. We’ll get through this together. Have a wonderful Easter weekend at home.
