Team Message re COVID-19

To our Dragons Abreast team:

In the past few weeks, we have all become familiar with concepts like ‘social distancing’ and ‘self-isolation’ – all part of our individual and collective efforts to slow and limit the spread of COVID-19.  Like you, we are closely following guidance from public health authorities to mitigate risk by staying home and not meeting together. This affects winter training and the new members info session that have both been postponed for now.

We are awaiting word from race venues and Sunnyside paddling club regarding any changes to the upcoming season. We are aware of one cancelled regatta at this time (Peterborough – June 13). We will keep you informed of anything we learn in the future that affects our season.

In the meantime, while we are doing our part to ‘flatten the curve’ here is a lovely link provided by Deborah Peniuk called “A Paddler’s Guide to Social Distancing” – Paddler Magazine’s top podcasts, books, movies and crosswords to keep adventure on your mind during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Times like these remind us all of what’s most important in our lives. As a team, we are here to support each other in any way we can. Please reach out to the Executive if you have questions or if you need anything.
