DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SIGNAL
Isolation can increase the risk of violence at home. Use this discrete gesture during a video call to show you need help:
1. Hold hand up with palm facing other person.
2. Tuck thumb into palm.
3. Fold fingers down over thumb.
At least nine women and girls have been killed in domestic homicides in Canada during the pandemic.
Violence thrives in isolation, but you are NOT alone. Help is available.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all healthcare and front-line workers for continuing to care for our community. We are sending appreciation and gratitude your way!
BREAKING: Ontario extends state of emergency until at least April 23. This means non-essential businesses must remain closed including: parks, rec centres, bars and restaurants. The ban on price gouging will also continue.
We are urging residents to remain vigilant in reporting suspected intimate partner violence. During these unprecedented times, victims are isolated inside their homes with their abusers, making it increasingly difficult for them to seek help.

To encourage social distancing and to keep the community safe, all sports courts, playgrounds, dog parks and skate parks are closed until further notice.
