To our guests,
With growing global concerns around COVID-19 (“coronavirus”), I wanted to provide
you with an update on our response to date and our commitment to you moving
forward. The health, safety and well-being of our employees and guests is our
top priority and we are following the lead of Canadian public health
authorities at this important time. We are committed to providing a safe environment
for all of our class participants.
First and foremost, I want to
assure our guests that we are taking all appropriate measures to ensure our office & classrooms are safe and that we have existing plans and protocols in
place to ensure they stay that way. While the Public Health Agency of
Canada has assessed the current public health risk associated with
coronavirus as low, we continue to monitor for developments very closely
We have implemented additional
measures to ensure your safety as well as the safety of our team, including:
- Introducing enhanced
cleaning protocols, with particular focus on high traffic and high
contact areas. Coronaviruses are easily eliminated by routine surface
cleaning with steam, which kills 99.9% of all germs
- Increasing communications
and reminders with our guests, partners and employees on important
health and safety measures
To protect yourself and others,
we ask that anyone who is feeling unwell refrain from visiting us so that
together we can ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
Again, we continue to monitor
this situation closely and will provide ongoing updates as needed. We also
encourage our guests to stay up-to-date through
Canada's Public Health website.
Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you soon
