Talent Show - Postponed - St. Paul High School - Malayali Association of Ottawa

Dear Friends, POSTPONED – Talent Show In light of recent developments in Ottawa with respect to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, the executive committee would like to let you know that we are postponing Talent Show 2020. The overwhelming expert opinion is to “act now rather than later” in flattening out the spread of the disease. We need to do our part as a community and a gathering of 350 people that includes children and elderly people is not advisable at this time. Recognizing that several members have been practising hard over the last many weeks to entertain the community at the show, we are not canceling the event for now. Currently, we plan to run the event in May. However, we will be monitoring the situation and decide later on the exact date. As such, we are postponing the AGM to after the talent show in May. If possible, a new committee will be formed by April 30 and they will informally start planning activities for the year 2020-2021, while the present executive committee will plan and run Talent Show 2020. Formal handoff to the new committee will happen at the AGM. We thank you for your co-operation and understanding as we all go through these unprecedented times. COVID-19 Support group More and more people are isolating themselves in Ottawa to do their part in stemming the spread of the virus. A group of volunteers has approached the executive committee with a willingness to support any community member who has to go through that unfortunate situation.
