Dear Friends and Neighbours,

Happy New Year!

I think it's safe to say that most of us are relieved to leave 2020 in the past. It was a tumultuous year but I am hopeful that 2021 will bring positive changes. Although we are still very much living through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the rollout of vaccines is a welcome light at the end of the tunnel.

The City is making important progress in vaccinating staff and residents of City-operated long-term care homes. Last week, approximately 800 staff members and more than 20 essential caregivers began to be vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Starting December 31, the Moderna vaccine began to be administered to long-term care home residents. Within the first three days, almost 600 residents were vaccinated on-site at long term care homes across the City. Vaccination of more residents and staff continues this week.

Sincerely,

Frances
