The long weekend is fast approaching and typically represents a time for people to participate in ceremonies, celebrations or to gather with others to enjoy some festive meals. However, these are not typical times and everyone should be practicing physical distancing. This means people should not travel away from their home community or even gather with others in-person to celebrate. Instead, we encourage people to find creative ways to stay connected with family and friends and celebrate from a distance.
