CORONAVIRUS- COVID 19

Updated: Sep 30, 2020


Boozhoo! The safety of Dryden Native Friendship Centre (DNFC) clients, families, volunteers, staff and community members is our number one priority. The World Health Organization declared COVID 19 a global pandemic. Although the perceived risk in Ontario is currently low, we are implementing strategies to manage and prevent spread of the virus. Many of our clients are seniors with underlying health issues and are vulnerable.


Effective immediately until further notice: Dryden Native Friendship Centre will be suspending all programming and our Centre will be closed to the public. We at DNFC shall monitor and make the community aware of programming re-launch dates in April. These measures may be extended as more information becomes available.


The following limited services will be available:

  • Phone check ins by program coordinators

  • Limited urgent transportation for medical only as arranged by program coordinators, if available.

If you know of anyone who is isolated or in need of support, please contact our line

(888)838-3632 Ext. 7, which will be available Monday to Friday between 8:30-4:30.


During these challenging times, we at DNFC will continue to make the best decisions we can for the well-being of staff and community.


Miigwetch,

Cheryl Edwards

Executive Director

Yes, this information is really very up to date, and I also had a similar health app where I wrote down a lot of personal information. But in principle, in real life, of course, this does not really interfere. In fact, it even helped me a little, because one day, quite by accident, I found here https://westcoastsupply.cc/product/delush-magic-stick-300mg/ a completely unique cannabis product, thanks to which I was able to heal.
