COVID UPDATE

Ontario’s Stay-at-Home order is in place until May 19^th

Stay at home except for essential travel and follow the restrictions and public health measures

Vaccine is underway, all adults over 18 will be eligible for COVID-18 vaccine by end of May

Dear students, members, and instructors,

Your OTCA Executive have met virtually during this time and have made the following decisions:

· The June 12^th social event to be held at Andrew Haydon Park has been CANCELLED for this year

· OTCA has not planned any organized outdoor summer practice yet due to current circumstance

· The Annual General Meeting will be postponed to September

· The ZOOM sessions will be posted to the OTCA Facebook page and website

· Communications continue with OCDSB about the coming school year

With the spike in rising numbers in the third wave, it is prudent to stay at home and do exercises. COVID vaccine is underway, for the latest update (and it is constantly changing), please see https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/covid-19-vaccine.aspx.

ZOOM sessions will continue during this time. Thanks to all our teachers’ dedication and enthusiasm.

I would like to point out the main purpose and difference between ZOOM Sessions vs. streaming (live or sharing YouTube videos) is INTERACTION! All our teachers have dedicated their precious time to not only show us the exercise but also help us to correct/enhance our techniques. Therefore, it is highly recommended to turn on your video camera during the Zoom sessions. Please do not worry that you are not a previous student or a member of OTCA. All our teachers welcome everyone in the Zoom sessions during the pandemic to stay safe and healthy.

COVID-19更新

安省現處於居家令

如非必要切勿外出，必須留在家裏

安大略省宣布5月份起全民接種新冠疫苗！！

致會員，學生，和老師：

學會的理事們剛進行網上會議，並作出以下決定：

· 本年度6月的燒烤聯誼活動取消

· 學會暫時不會於室外舉辦太極練習

· 學會週年大會將延遲至9月

· ZOOM太極練習資訊會加於太極會面書及網站，希望更多人受益

· 學會將繼續與教育局聯絡討論新學年事宜

新冠已到達第三波，令我們不能不留守家中。渥太華亦陸續推出新冠疫苗，資訊日新月異，請瀏覽此網站 https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/covid-19-vaccine.aspx 提供最新資訊。

繼續做運動，保持我們心身健康，極為重要。多謝我們各位老師的奉獻精神和熱誠，學會將繼續舉辦ZOOM太極練習。

大家有冇想過，ZOOM練習同跟網上睇片練習的最大分別呢？對！就是「互動」！我們所有的老師都投入了寶貴的時間，不僅向我們展示了練習，而且還幫助我們糾正/增強我們的技術。因此，我強烈建議大家在ZOOM太極練習期間打開攝像機。請不要擔心您不是以前的學生或OTCA的成員。在新冠期間，我們所有的老師都歡迎所有人參加ZOOM會議，以保持安全和健康。
