Deadline Extended for The Royal Canadian Legion Fenelon Falls Literary Contest for Seniors
Submitted by Arlene Coleman
We hope all our seniors in the wider community of Fenelon Falls are coping as well as can be expected during these uncertain times of COVID-19. When we introduced our second Literary Contest for Seniors earlier in the year, open to those 55 years plus in the community, one could never imagine the circumstances that reflect our “new normal” just a few short months later. Submissions will be accepted from residents of Fenelon Falls and vicinity. We have extended the submission deadline to 6:00pm September 25, 2020.

Submitted by Shirley Hackett of the Fenelon Falls Curling Club
Everyone deals with Covid 19 in their own way. To help out at this time Fenelon Falls Curling Club offered to lend a hand. So when a customer could not shop for themselves in the store nor leave their home for safety reasons, a volunteer list was offered to Sobeys and groceries delivered with safe protocols.
The Caring and Connecting Kawartha Lakes Initiative
Submitted by Caleb Kim
Want to lend a helping hand in your community while practicing social distancing? Retirement and long-term care homes in Ontario have been on lockdown for quite some time now. This means that, unlike a lot of us, many residents haven't been able to have any family and friends visit, which can make this an incredibly lonely and depressing time.

MPP Laurie Scott Hosted Virtual Roundtable
Submitted by the office of Laurie Scott, MPP
It’s a sign of the times. Two months ago local Chambers of Commerce and other small businesses would have met in a local coffee shop, restaurant, boutique or other store to share ideas and concerns on what the province could do to help local business. Instead, the world has had to get creative.
