| These are strange times we live in and we have all had to adapt quickly to the new normal. Self-isolation and social distancing are necessary to combat COVID-19. It’s important that we all follow these measures. As we keep hearing, we all need to act as if we have it in order to avoid each other and keep each other healthy. Before all this happened our community hall was host to a variety of rentals, events and classes. We paused all rentals and usage of the hall early on. This left a gap in our programming, specifically our Seniors Fitness and Moms&Tots Playgroup. Amidst COVID, these groups had no place to meet. These groups are vital to creating space for seniors, toddlers and mothers in our community. You have also likely observed the huge amount of online programming being presented by artists and organizations all over the world. Although there is a hyper-awareness around the two-dimensionality of experiencing performances, classes and meet-ups trough this online medium, it seems like it is the only way we can continue to connect safely while following protocol. This is why the Crescent Heights Community Association is working hard to engage residents like you with informative e-newsletters and inspiring social media content. This is also why we are proud to announce that our Seniors Fitness and Moms&Tots Playgroup will now move online. We will also be hosting a number of one-off presentations and events online through our social media channels and Zoom. We’ve compiled what we have so far and listed them below. However, this list of events is constantly growing and changing week to week so please check our social media to keep updated. If you scroll down far enough you will also see a CHCA LIVE request to host your own events using our CHCA platform. If you have any ideas either as a recurring or one-off event please submit them through that form. If you know an individual in our community who may not receive this e-newsletter but who you think would benefit from attending any of these online sessions please forward them a copy of the e-newsletter. From all of us at the CHCA, We hope you, your family and friends, are safe and healthy. |

CRESCENT HEIGHTS ONLINE CONCERT
Crescent Heights Community Association would like to feature the musical artists in our community and allow them to share some inspiring songs with the community. We are asking musicians/singers/karaoke enthusiasts to record a short video of themselves performing a song for Crescent Heights. We ask that you keep this to one song, record it and send it to kevin@crescenthegihtsyyc.ca via www.wetransfer.com . We will then feature your song on our social media channels.
We invite submissions from both professionals/pro-am/amateurs. Please submit by the Sunday evening of each week to be featured in the following week’s social media posts.
