Grant L. Ferron‎ - Kin Canada Atlantic - District 7

A Message from the E.D.: Help us Help You
You only need to spend a few minutes on the nightly news to get the drift…The Government is asking us not to force their hand in what would mean another shut down. A short while ago, my message on The Link was much the same.

Our Governments are keenly aware of the costs of another shut down. The immediate and long term impact on our economy can be devastating. More people will lose their livelihoods and the economically vulnerable will be at greater risk. And don’t get me started on planning on retirement) BUT more importantly, people’s health will be impacted – and that doesn’t just mean the already compromised, it can impact the young and healthy. It is alarming that we are still learning that this is not a simple flu bug we can shake off…the long term impact of catching this virus can be devastating on the long-term health of individuals.

When we started to allow in-person Club meetings and provide exceptions for in-person service projects and fund-raising, we ask that Clubs not to just meet local and provincial regulations, we ask them to exceed them. To model the best of the best precautions. As an example when a mask is recommended, but not mandated, modeling the best of the best would be to “wear the mask”.

When we water down the best practices, we lower the standards and that is where complacency slips in and the health experts is telling us that complacency is one of the top threats to getting this second wave under control.

In Quebec, the Minister of Health issued a 28 day challenge, asking people to stand-down, stay home and exercise the best of the best precautions. It is easy to interpret this as, “HELP US HELP YOU”. The truth is, our Governments don’t want to revert back the restrictions as seen in the spring but know if we don’t do what needs to get done, those days are on the horizon.

Fellow Kin, we too are faced with the same challenge. We don’t want to revert back to the restrictions we previously had in place, but we have to do our part. At the National Board of Directors and HQ level we need to have confidence that our Clubs are managing the risk properly and most of all, we are going the extra mile to keep the community and ourselves safe.

Again, when it comes to planning we do need to ask ourselves, just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.
We must continue to be leaders in our Communities by first recognizing the risks and second, responding in such a way that demonstrates our commitment to public and member safety.

Please ….Let’s go above and beyond ...
