Effective Immediately Calgary Area with the exception of Canmore and Banff will be moving to Outdoor 1 with a 15-person gathering size restriction. For support please reach out to your District Commissioner (DC) for support in adjusting to these new restrictions. Below are some ideas for you as we move to the new stage: - Split units into smaller groups for in-person meetings and activities (for example, Cohort A and Cohort B - Stagger the start time for in-person meetings ...(Cohort A: 6:30-7:30, Cohort B: 7:45-8:45) - Consider adding in buffer time between cohorts for safe arrival/departure - Consider shortening the meeting time for each Cohort, while still offering a regular in-person meeting for girls - Consider rotating who attends in-person activities each week and offering virtual or anytime Guiding for those who are not at in-person activities - Offer virtual or anytime guiding activities https://ggc.informz.ca//bWFpbGluZ2luc3RhbmNlaWQ9MTIzNjUxNS #GGCabcouncil #girlguidesofcanada #ggc#guidinginanewway #calgarygirlguides #staysafe #bepreparednotscared #GirlGuidesofCanada #EverythingSheWantsToBe #GirlGuides #BetterWorldByGirls #Guiding #GirlsFirst #Sisterhood #GirlDriven #GirlEmpowerment #BeTheChange #GirlPower
