- Discussed the new provincial regulations that came into effect Saturday, October 3, including the province-wide mask mandate and transition to appointment-based testing at assessment centres.

- Would like to remind everyone to continue practicing individual public health safety measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, especially when considering Thanksgiving gatherings.
