Checking In

Hello Everyone.  We hope you are well and safe at home in this challenging time.

The internet, tv and radio are doing a good job of keeping us all current on the COVID-19 situation.  We trust you are following the instructions of government officials and healthcare professionals to protect yourself and others.

At this time, there is no indication of when the Thornhill Community Centre or the Club will reopen.  Please continue to check the City of Markham website for the most up to date information on COVID-19 and City services.

During this period of social distancing, we encourage you to reach out to your fellow Members.  A simple phone conversation is all it takes to check in and lift someone’s spirits.  Online video chat apps like Zoom, Skype and Face Time are also wonderful tools for staying connected.

We will get through this together.

Take good care and we hope to see you back at the Club soon.

P.S. Good News, Carpet Bowlers.  Your 2 new mats have finally arrived!  A little something extra to look forward to when we reopen.
