Christmas Week Services
Per the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, as of Dec. 20 we will follow Revised Red protocols, as follows:
• Everyone involved in services must be double vaccinated.
• Eucharist is permitted in both kinds.
• Up to 25 participants (only people with active roles) — including choirs and musicians.
• Singers, musicians and choirs must be distanced and masked.
• If there is more than one person in the space all persons must be masked — if livestreaming or recording alone you are allowed to take off your mask.
• No social times or sharing of food.

Maintain physical distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from anyone who is not in your personal bubble.

* What proof do you need to attend in person? Paper vaccination receipts are fine, but a QR code will make checking go faster. Find out how to download one at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/get-proof/. Did you know that your local Ottawa Public Library can help you print and laminate this code?
