Hey everyone, this week’s social distancing reminder is brought to you by the folks at YVR – a big shout out to everyone who remembers “Body Break”! Stay safe and healthy, at least 2m apart!
Emergency Funding
Hey everyone, in case you missed this important message from Brian about the emergency funding recently announced by CLBC:
Please see this news release from CLBC regarding the emergency fund set up for home share and residential services. Good news in that we know the additional strains that this Coronavirus response has put on Home Share Providers.
If you have a need that meets the criteria in the news release, please contact your Home Share Coordinator with the agency who will pass on the request to CLBC.
Online: Supply Suggestion!
Thanks to Brian for passing along an online supply suggestion!

Cranbrook: Supply Suggestion!
If you have a supply suggestion, let us know!
Hey everyone, we know that some key supplies have been tough to come by lately -one of our amazing Service Coordinators(thanks, Lindsay!) passed along a supply suggestion today for us to share:
A social media post late last Friday said that Home Hardware in Cranbrook is trying to bring in more hand sanitizer, Lysol wipes, and surgical masks. If you are in need of these supplies, you might want to give them a call at 250-426-6288 and see what products they currently have on hand.
Your social distancing reminder of the day…
Social distancing can feel very difficult – but we won’t “flatten the curve” unless we all make a commitment to social distancing, together! Let’s encourage each other to stay safe and health, by being at least 2m apart.
