Hello everyone! It has been a roller coaster of changes and emotions to start off the year. I am happy to see that our wonderful province is in Yellow Phase and that there are discussions about the Atlantic Bubble being reinstated.

I have been reaching out to the various charities we have been supporting, to assess their needs, and will provide an update soon.

Please feel free to comment on this post if you are aware of organizations that could use our Brigade's help.

Thank you and stay safe!

Our effort was so successful that our donated masks were shared with other Horizon Health facilities in the greater Saint John area, a total of 2,133 community face masks

November 2020 - this was a special request from the Coverdale Center for Women. The Brigade provided them with 30 adult size and 28 children size masks so that they could include them as part of gift bundles to make the holidays brighter for mothers and their children
