Flamborough E-NEWS
April 2020
Welcome to the April edition of ENEWS. There are many important updates to share with you this month, including Easter Food Baskets at Food with Grace Waterdown Food Bank and Flamborough Food Bank, NEW tax deferral update, extended closure notices due to COVID-19, economic recovery initiatives, gatherings enforcement and more. If you have any questions or need anything during this time, please send me an email at [email protected]. Christine, Veronica and I are here to help you.

It is heartwarming to see so many in our community and beyond starting various initiatives to support those working to keep us safe. I applaud the support and encourage everyone to participate. Many of these initiatives such as tying a ribbon on a tree etc. are posted on Facebook and Instagram which is a great way to communicate to the broader community.

Please keep safe and protect yourselves.

Kind Regards
