Attempting to plan an event during COVID-19 can feel very overwhelming, if not impossible. The Canadian Government has developed a risk mitigation tool for any events or gatherings that may be taking place during the pandemic. Remember that maintaining safe physical distance, wearing a mask and sticking close to your immediate "bubble" is the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19. To review The Government of Canada's mitigation tool visit https://loom.ly/gJJ8MEg
