Covid-19 – temporary meeting closures
Many venues have now reopened either fully in person or as hybrids (in person and virtual). Please see below and the individual meeting page for details.
In-Person Meetings
Al-Anon is classified as one of the mental health essential services according to Public Health Ontario and are able to meet within public health guidelines (Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Heath).
If members choose to meet in-person, it is recommended that:
- If you are sick, you not attend an in-person meeting
- wear a mask
- stay 6 feet apart
- each group should have hand sanitizer or a washing station
