Update to St.Amant Families – April 14, 2022

April 14, 2022

Dear St.Amant Families,
There never seems to be a dull moment in our province! I want to let you know that our teams worked hard to quickly pull together excellent storm plans, ensuring that food, supplies, medication and staffing were arranged before the snow started. Our staff rallied to support overtime requests and came to work with overnight bags packed, more than willing to stay as needed. We also a number of local restaurants send food over as a thank you to staff for all of their work and in anticipation of long hours.
 Luckily, the spring storm hasn’t been as ferocious as originally forecast and travel within the city has been manageable.
We continue to see positive Covid cases pop up in all program areas. Our staff is closely monitoring all people we support residentially for symptoms and following all protocols.
The province announced that booster shots are now available for children 12–18 years of age. Our teams are coordinating boosters as required and we encourage you to support anyone in your family who qualifies to arrange their booster shots.
I hope that everyone has a peaceful and joyful holiday weekend. Happy Easter and Happy Passover to all who celebrate.
John Leggat
President & CEO
