Happy New Year to the NESA Community!

Hello and Happy New Year to the NESA Community! We hope you have all enjoyed the holidays and are feeling recharged for the new year ahead. While 2022 hasn't exactly started off how we might have hoped it would due to the ever-changing covid-19 situation, we remain confident that if everyone continues to do their part in keeping one another safe, we will be able to move forward and create some fun and enjoyable experiences with one another.

As always, The North Edmonton Seniors Association remains committed in reporting to you the most up to date news and information that impacts your scheduled activities at the centre. Please ensure to check the website on a regular basis for more updates as the pandemic situation evolves.

Updates to the Restrictions Exemption Program

At this time, NESA intends to proceed as scheduled for the start of its Winter 2022 season (scheduled to commence on Monday, January 10, 2022), provided no new changes or restrictions come into effect after this email has been distributed.

As a participant of the Restrictions Exemption Program, NESA continues to adhere to the required operational guidelines. The most recent provincial changes implemented December 24, 2021 concerning recreation facilities and the changes to capacity limits, does not impact the NESA Winter 2022 season because the programming team already implemented reduced capacities in all activities and is below the allowable occupancy maximum.

Additionally, NESA will continue to implement social distancing, enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols, and encourage all patrons to adhere to healthy hand and hygiene habits.

Thank you for doing your part!

Mask wearing at NESA

As mandated by the province, mask-wearing in public facilities including NESA is required at all times (with the exception to when eating and drinking and during approved activities where the mask can be removed temporarily). It is strongly suggested however that masks remain on during the entirety of your visit to places outside of your home.

As advised by Alberta Health Services, when in public, ensure that your mask is:

Above the nose, fully covering the mouth, and under the chin.

Please note that face shields are not approved face coverings.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our community safe.

Let's bring back the Choralaires!

The Choralaires has been NESA’s official Choir for many, many years and has been greatly missed. Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the group hasn’t come together since February 2020.

At first, the intention was to wait until things went back to normal and the group could sing without restrictions. Almost two years later and we are tired of waiting. We miss the singing and the camaraderie. We are willing to carry on with limited restrictions if you are!

The instructors would like to organize a potential program in February, but wanted to confirm that there was enough interest first. The program would resume on Tuesdays, 1-3 pm and will be held at McClure Church [13708 74 St]. If you are interested in returning, or even joining as a new participant, please sign up online [look under Music, Song, and Dance and for the "Choralaires "I'm Interested" List"] or call the front office at 780-496-6969. Please indicate your interest by January 28, 2022.
