It’s been a year since the first case of COVID-19 in Canada was reported. And yesterday we reached a sad milestone worldwide – more than 100,000,000 people have had COVID-19, and of them, over 2,000,000 people have died.
This is a devastating virus.
Yet, I’m so grateful for the vaccine development and the roll-out which is underway. Even though the supply has paused temporarily, it certainly seems like it will be available to everyone in Canada by the end of the year.
As of yesterday, Christian Horizons has nine (9) people who use our services and twenty-two (22) employees who are currently positive for COVID-19 in eight (8) Ontario communities and two (2) Saskatchewan community.

In Nicaragua, this week our team is doing renovations to the outdoor area in the preschool. This will give the children more room to play. In all communities, they are hopeful, but cautious, as school is starting that COVID-19 cases will not rise.
If you haven’t had a chance to attend a “COVID-19 Vaccine Information” webinar yet, please consider registering here. They’ve been wonderfully informative – I’ve registered to attend all of them! Past webinars are also included on our COVID-19 Resources page or through links below:
