EVENT POSTPONED
Hi everyone,
In light of the recent case of COVID-19 in Whitehorse, we have decided to postpone the “Coming Out Campfire” until further notice.
According to the Yukon’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Communicable Disease Control is still in the process of tracing the contacts for the positive case identified in Whitehorse on Friday, Aug. 7. While we understand that the risk is low for the outdoor event we had planned, we felt that it was important to pause the event until we have more information. Our priority is our community’s health, safety, and well-being.
We are looking at holding the event again in the near future and may have increased precautions at that time. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to connect with you again soon!
Sincerely,
Naveen
Volunteer Community Organizer
