FAQ’S FOR OUR GROUP LEADERS – YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.
COVID-19
Dear Organizers and Guests,
I trust you are doing well. At heart, my priority has always been to provide you with a place of retreat where you feel free to escape the pressures of modern life and focus on your relationships, well-being and health.
Faced with the current stressful situation surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), I want you to know that we care deeply about the well-being of our guests, employees, and our community at large. As such, I am taking recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Canada and provincial health authorities very seriously.
I would like to take this opportunity to share with you just some of the many preventative measures we are implementing to create an environment that is safe and secure for everyone.
What we are doing:
1- Cleanliness: First, we are taking extra measures with our cleaning protocols as well as modifying our experiences in accordance with medical precautions.
2- Access to the site: We are closely monitoring guests and employees alike for symptoms. Anyone who has symptoms or knows someone who is unwell will be asked to return home, thus creating a safe environment for all.
3- Social distancing: We are significantly reducing the capacity of the retreat centre.
4- Fresh air and good food: Finally, we want to continue to encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors, enjoy good food and clean living. Keeping yourself in pique physical and emotional well being is key to experiencing health and keeping your immune system at top levels.
Rest assured that we will always put your health and security first, so that we can continue to provide you with a safe haven to unwind, find your strength, and feel fortified.
We look forward to welcoming you soon,
