This morning I received the above email - planning for 2021 has begun.

I am hopeful that all the measures that our country have put into place will contain the pandemic.  

I am hopeful that an effective vaccine will be developed and that the pandemic will be further contained by the development of 'herd immunity' by having vulnerable folk able to have the vaccination.

I am hopeful that everyone will make it through this troubling time and that we will be able to attend conferences and fibre gatherings, take workshops - or teach them.

Right now it appears that the predicted second wave is building.  Any thought of school opening the first week of September has been put on hold while this province grapples with increasing numbers of cases - again.

The way to wrestle this virus to the ground is for everyone to stay home if they can, wear a mask if they can't, maintain physical distance of at least six feet, wash their hands.
