A Lifeline Amidst Stormy Weather

On May 20, the Board of Directors faced some difficult decisions, and voted to modify its previously announced in-person programs in Whitby and Edmonton. Faced with the usual venue and rising hospitality costs, news of ever rising gas and travel prices, and ongoing COVID19 realities; the Board voted to offer a revised online program in 2022, as well as the popular (onsite/in-person and online) evening chorister programs in Whitby and Edmonton. A revised program and schedule has been posted.
