Health and Safety Protocols Continue at NSGEU Until May 20th
Dear member,
This is to advise that all NSGEU members and guests are permitted access to the building for meetings, events and training without providing proof of vaccination.
The NSGEU will continue with all its current protocols related to masking and social distancing. The protocols will be re-evaluated again at that time. We realize that this extends our protocols beyond what is required by Public Health, but we are choosing to do this out of an abundance of caution and to best ensure the safety of members and staff.
The following protocols will be applied to all NSGEU member meetings, events and training:
- Masking when not seated;
- Masking when physical distancing cannot be maintained.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding these health and safety protocols.
