Please heed the advice of your public health and government officials.

INFORMATION FOR YOU AND STAFF:

• Educate staff to recognize the symptoms of COVID-19 in each other
• Establish a communication plan to keep employees informed and updated on issues
• Provide necessary sanitation supplies and personal protection equipment
• Ensure hand washing signage is present at all wash stations
• Provide hand sanitizer stations for both staff and guests in multiple locations throughout the facility. Increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting areas that are frequently touched (counter surfaces, door handles)

• Educate staff on hygiene and sanitation and it's impact of preventing the spread of this virus or others

CGSA is maintaining their operations as our staff works remotely. We have also cancelled business travel at this time. Other events and business will be evaluated as they arise.

In this time of global uncertainty we want to ensure that CGSA is remaining strong with our efforts to support our members. We will be looking at additional resources to support you in your position; some of which are already available to you through the Live Learning Centre, along with discounts available through Golfmax or Venngo.

Please maintain a mindful approach to this global issue and reach out to your friends, family, colleagues or mental health support.

Respectfully,

Darren Kalyniuk
