Message from our President
Fellow NIPMAC members,
It’s great to see that we are making progress with respect to businesses opening during
this Covid-19 pandemic. Starting from Friday, July 17th most of the province including
northern area are moving into Stage 3 of the recovery plan. This is a major
step forward in lifting restrictions on various activities. We should all be proud of our
efforts to be safe, keep healthy and prevent community spread of Covid-19.
Under the Stage 3 recovery plan, the maximum number of people allowed in outdoor
gathering is 100, and with two-metre (2m) physical distancing. Going from past records,
attendance at any of our annual fun fly are usually in the 50s. Therefore,
we should be good to hold our scheduled annual fun fly on August 15th. We’ll
have more than sufficient space for physical distance and meeting requirements from
the Health Unit. This is good news for the club to resume club activities and get more
member outdoor for fresh air and re-connect.
With everyone following prescribed protocols by the Health Unit, NIPMAC should be
able to safely resume club outdoor activities.
Please see below details of monthly glider events, float fly events, monthly meetings,
annual Fun Fly in August. Regular monthly meetings will resume at the flying
field. The next meeting is on Wed. July 29th.
All attendees at NIPMAC’s events shall comply with appropriate safety
measures including two-metre physical separation, wearing of mask and use of hand
sanitizers (as appropriate).
Covid-19 virus is still with us. We are not fully out of the woods yet. We are going to
learn to leave with it and continuing to practice effective preventative measures. This
is crucial to preventing second wave and perhaps subsequent wave of this virus.
I look forward to seeing you all at the flying field.
Remain safe and healthy.
F. (Foley) Soroye
President, NIPMAC
