Dear Members,
We would first like to reach out to all of you whose lives have been disrupted by this unprecedented chain of events. The world as we know it has been turned upside down. We will need to adapt to a new norm which in in itself may not be a bad thing when all is said and done. We will need to rely even more on technology whether it be for school or work. We will, at some point, develop a cure for this virus and its mutations. The situation is evolving on a daily basis; we need to stay ahead of the curve.
It may not be possible for all of you to travel to the Laurentians to share time with friends at the lake this summer as we have done for so many years. Given the circumstances, the Directors have decided to cancel all planned activities for the summer of 2020. We cannot in good conscience, organize events that would put any of our members at risk. In accordance with the Quebec Government policy, we have put all our planning aside for this summer. There will be no annual fees and the beach would be open, but we will ask users to maintain a safe distance when interacting with others. Donations are always welcome. At this time, the wharves and the raft will not be put out as this could compromise the health of the volunteers doing the work. It is our hope we will be able to open the beach by the end of June, but the final decision can only be taken as we observe the fluidity of the situation at that time.
We would also ask anyone coming to the beach to make sure you are in good health in order to protect the well being of people who live here, especially the older members, when you congregate on the beach, to enjoy the view.
Stay safe, maintain social distancing and we may see you soon, albeit at distance of 6 feet, at least for the foreseeable future.
Your Directors
