Hey everyone:
While it can be hard to be apart from the people we love, please remember to protect yourselves and others by staying 2m away while we are practicing social distancing.
That doesn’t mean you can’t get creative to show how much you care! Meet Hilda Duddridge, who proves that where there is a will, there is a way: love conquers all!
Hey everyone:
This is a great news story – Choir! Choir! Choir! is a group of ‘flash mob’ singers where a pile of people gather at a club or a bar to sing a song or two – I can’t personally wait for this COVID quarantine to be over to go somewhere they are singing to participate. Plus… they’re CANADIAN…!
Some of my favourites: Choir! Choir! Choir! with Rick Astley, Rufus Wainwright, The Barenaked Ladies and Colin Hay.
The two main guys in Choir! Choir! Choir! have set up a couple of sing-a-longs – this is a great way to sing with them and hopefully add a little music to our lives. See the one below and… stay safe!

Hey everyone, privacy laws have been a big topic of discussion recently and so we are checking in with a few updates. You can read about the new order that temporarily allows more use of communications and collaborative software tools in response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) here. These temporary measures are needed to support “social distancing” (i.e. working from home).
Here are some more details you may want to check in on for yourself or your work:
Hi, Just reminder about Privacy Laws during this time and what has now been passed: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020CITZ0005-000588
When using Facetime, Zoom, non government Skype and such other technology; remember to have permission from the individual first. And if you are using technology for a meeting with staff do not record the meeting, do not use first and last names, SIN, DOB, addresses. Be mindful that all of these platforms collect people’s information. This includes your IP address, email, network provider, location as well as any aspect of the call.
