The slow, warm days of summer!

Summer is a season of the great outdoors. Our province is in step 3 of restrictions. What does that mean for us here in Ontario? We can congregate in small groups outside while maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask when this isn’t possible.


We have resumed our Fibre Fridays at the Glengarry Pioneer Museum! We have been able to meet under the pavilion and spin together for most of July and will continue through August and part of September. The museum is open to the public and follows the provincial restrictions with masking, hand sanitizing and contact tracing.


Our monthly meetings continue to be on hold for now while we find a venue that is suitable to our needs. In the meantime we are enjoying spinning in the outdoors and catching up on each other’s news.


Have a great and safe summer!
