StrongStart Information Letter & DHC 2020

DEAR WINDSOR DROP-IN FAMILIES,

StrongStart programs are prepared to welcome you back once again while following a carefully planned set of protocols during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Please register with the StrongStart program closest to your place of residence. Windsor Family Drop-In is not offering ‘drop-in’ at this time.

Please carefully read the info provided and register online.

Burnaby StrongStart Centres
Burnaby StrongStart Centres are looking forward to welcoming you back in person as early as
October 26, 2020. Although we have been engaging with many families via emails, phone calls,
Blogs, and Zoom it will be wonderful to see you face to face.
Burnaby StrongStart Centres will offer a blended model that will include 3 days a week of inperson programming at StrongStart centres, 1 day a week of outdoor exploration at local parks
or on school grounds, and 1 day a week of virtual outreach to stay connected to families who
aren’t quite ready to visit us in person. Schedules will vary at StrongStart locations and not all
centres will be open for in-person programming.
In-person visits will be limited to four families per day (1 parent/guardian per 3 children
maximum) in order to maintain safe physical distancing. Outdoor explorations will be limited to
ten families per day (1 parent/guardian per 3 children maximum) to maintain safe physical
distancing. All in-person programs will run from 9:30am to 11:00am to accommodate cleaning
and disinfecting protocols.
There is no drop-in StrongStart. All families (new and returning) must register online for the
2020-21 year. The total number of registered families will determine the number of times per
month families can attend an in-person StrongStart program. Burnaby StrongStart programs are
available to Burnaby residents only. Families can attend at one location only.
Registration for StrongStart is now open!
