A 30th anniversary celebration was planned for last year but was postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
We have regretfully decided to cancel our 31st Anniversary Celebrations. The funds set aside for the event will be returned to members as a discount on their 2022 membership fee.
Although we are unable to hold our celebration, a book of members’ recollections will be launched when we return to the Hub. The book contains stories told by members in their own words about their lives

There are more places than ever before to get your COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccines are safe, effective and free.
Getting the COVID-19 vaccine reduces your risk of getting sick with COVID-19 and protects you against becoming very sick if you do get COVID-19. It helps to protect your friends, family and community. If most people are vaccinated, the virus can’t spread as easily. This also protects people who can’t get vaccinated
