The Ottawa Branch is cancelling or postponing the remainder of its spring 2020 events. Events hosted by other organizations in Eastern Ontario are also being postponed or cancelled.
Amidst this uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and given the need to observe social distancing, it is important to stay connected virtually. Keep an eye out for a future post with a couple ideas on how to keep some tunes going through it all.
We wish good health to everyone and look forward to when we’ll be able to reconnect in person.
