What we’re about
Welcome to our Meetup Group, where we prioritize the health and well-being of our community members, especially those with disabilities, immunocompromised and/or at high risk from COVID-19.
To ensure a safe environment for all, we request that all participants follow rigorous precautions both within and outside the group. This includes always wearing KN95/N95 respirators (or equivalent) in public indoor spaces and staying up-to-date with vaccinations.
Our commitment to inclusivity extends to providing a 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly space and indicating accessibility levels for all our events.
In-person events are intentionally limited in size to lower exposure risk, and the majority of our gatherings take place outdoors to maximize ventilation and minimize risk. Some indoor events might be suggested to our members if measures such as mandatory masking, HEPA filtration, and/or effective ventilation, are in place.
While masking is encouraged during outdoor events, it is mandatory for all indoor spaces and events. We also strongly recommend rapid testing before attending any gathering. For events where continuous masking is not possible, such as outdoor patio meals, rapid testing will be mandatory. Events requiring testing will be clearly indicated in the description, and attendees must show a negative rapid test to an organizer at the start of the event.
✳️ To facilitate a safe experience, we offer free N95 masks and rapid tests upon request.
✴️ Please prioritize the health of our community by refraining from attending in-person events if you are experiencing any symptoms - excluding chronic conditions - or have traveled in the past week.
✴️ Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend an event and notify the event’s organizer if it’s a last minute change. If you don’t, you will be marked as a no-show and may be asked to leave the group after several no-shows.
ℹ️ We are not affiliated with the Facebook group Still COVIDing Toronto, but we encourage our members to join it if they wish to (feel free to get in touch with us for an invitation link to the group as it’s private).
Let's collectively create an environment that fosters both connection and safety for all members!
