We are now able to re-open our branch to members again on a limited basis. Things will look a bit different as there will be restrictions in place for us to follow, so please be patient for everyone’s safety and abide by the rules. That is our number one priority.  We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Branch - it has been a long 4 months and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again.  We thank our volunteer Re-opening Planning Committee: Chairman David Thompson, Roy Fagel, Wayne Rahn, Bob Harkness, Steve Sajkowski, Fred Duncan, Patty Duncan for making all the arrangements and putting COVID safety protocols in place to make this happen. 

FOOT CARE CLINIC WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN STARTING FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 2020 - WEAR A MASK.  CALL 519-827-5866 TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT AND SAY LEGION FOOT CARE.  THE PRICE WILL BE $39.55. NO CASH. CHEQUE ONLY - OR IF PAYING BY CREDIT CARD $3 EXTRA.

Here are the instructions for attending your Legion Branch…

• Masks are required to enter the building and social distancing and  sanitization protocols will be in place. 

• 2020 Membership Cards MUST be shown to enter with one guest.  If your Membership dues are not paid for 2020, you can pay on entry or you will not be admitted. As space is limited, our priority will be to welcome  our Members in good standing and one guest.  

• We are restricted by law to 50 people max at a time in the building. Tables and chairs have been re-arranged in the Lounge to comply with COVID regulations - these are not to be moved at all.

• 2m (6ft) Physical distancing is in affect, so please follow directions. 

• Masks must be worn while in the building, except while seated at a table to eat or drink.  If you are unable to wear a mask for medical reasons, please explain to the welcoming volunteer on arrival, you may be seated on the patio outside.  Again, everyone's safety is our priority.

• Smoking is not allowed on the patio or within 10ft of any entrance to the building (Branch Policy 2018).  A designated smoking area will  be assigned, and notices posted. 

• Frequent hand washing is encouraged and for your safety and the safety of our members and staff please make sure you use the hand sanitizer provided when leaving and entering the branch.

• Bar service is protected, and one customer will be served at a  time.   Empty bottles, glasses, cans, and garbage will not be returned to the bar - there will be a designated area to leave these.

• All indoor activities such as darts, cards, and shuffleboard, will  remain closed and not accessible to use. 

• The Pool Room will be open Fridays only, maximum 6 players at one time.  No spectators.  Side tables have been removed.   Masks must be worn while playing.  Sanitization of pool balls and cues is required  frequently.

BRANCH GENERAL MEETINGS ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  ALL MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING WILL BE INFORMED BY EMAIL OR POSTAL MAIL WHEN THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE SCHEDULED

The Dominion Executive Council has temporarily suspended the bylaws controlling Branch Election of Officers until further notice, because we are unable to hold General Meetings and therefore no elections can be held. Your current Executive has agreed to stay on for as long as it takes until this situation is resolved.

Stay in touch with our Veterans and our Seniors - find out their needs and help them out if you can.  "Buddy check".

The Branch phone is being monitored so if anyone has any questions or concerns, or a Veteran needs assistance, please call the Branch and leave a message. The Branch email is also being monitored guelphlegion@gmail.com  We will get back to you.
