COVID-19 - Reopening

June 2021 Update

We hope that everyone is doing well during these past several months!

theSpace plans to reopen on June 14th, 2021 as part of the Ontario Government's opening plan
which allows non-essential retail to resume some business activities. This Step 1 process
includes setting limited capacity numbers and allows organizations and businesses to fulfill
online purchases and to sell merchandise. And while we are eager to have all members back for
in-person workshops, we will, once again, at that point in time, be limiting workshops and overall
participation, in order to comply with public health measures.

When we do return at full capacity, we will aim to schedule workshops, when possible, with
routines similar to those in place in March 2021, prior to the stay-at-home order. Please contact
us if you have an questions regarding when workshops can and will resume.

  • The previous guidelines first outlined last June will remain in place with workshops
resuming eventually and with a maximum of four members.
  • Restrictions on public transit use will remain in place for the time-being. We once again
apologize for this inconvenience to members and their families, but we feel that this is an
important safety measure.

Scheduling Workshops

We want to be a flexible as possible when hosting members but may continue to adjust and
make changes to schedules in order to allow as many members to safely and effectively use
theSpace, as is suitable. We once again appreciate everyone’s understanding as we coordinate
each member’s unique circumstances and transportation needs.

Lunches

We would like to ask all members continue to bring their lunch with them, in order to reduce the
risk through travel to other larger off-site locations. We have strongly suggested to members
that they limit their break visits to the convenience store, next door or immediately nearby to theSpace,
as well as to the Dairy Queen, which has an outdoor walk-through.

Snacks and refreshments will continue to be included at theSpace, as well as single use
utensils, plates, cups etc.

Warmer Weather

The warm weather has returned and will help us to have consistent air flow throughout
theSpace. Several air purifiers will continue to be used to ensure air flow is consistent and not
stagnant. This extra precautionary measure will enhance our existing physical distancing, hand
washing, frequent disinfecting, and face covering protocols.

For more details on what members can expect please refer to our guidelines listed below.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
