indoor play with Covid precautions,
regular rules and lots of enthusiasm.
It's great to be back to a new normal!
People must be excited to get
back to their favourite activities.
Members have come back super
excited to play. We're planning for
pre-Covid demand - and more - for
sports in 2022. We're ready for as many
members, returning and new, as are
ready to play.
You're on the board of United Way
Elgin Middlesex and are the past
chair of the United Way Campaign.
What's your view of the pandemic
through that lens? United Way
saw increased giving from all types of
supporters in 2020 and early 2021. We
saw significant collaboration across all
sectors, including non-profit, private
businesses and all levels of government.
And we were impressed by the
innovation of our funded agencies
that adapted quickly to address urgent
needs when our community needed it
most.
Of course, we really need the
community to rally again for this year's
campaign. Many people who were
already facing barriers like poverty,
mental illness and homelessness
before the pandemic hit are even
further behind now. Many others are
needing help for the first time because
of job loss and precarious work and
the impact of many months spent in
isolation without connection to friends,
family and neighbours. We're hopeful
for a bright future. We're asking
members of our community to give
what they can now to make sure we all
get there.
Do you have a favourite sport
or activity? My favourite sport is
volleyball. I play weekly with my team,
'One Good Block'. The team started out
as four couples who each live on a
different side of the same block in
Wortley Village. I love spending
Thursday nights with them on the
court and at the Old South Village
Pub.
