Sunnyhill Christmas Party

Submitted by James Jordan on behalf of the Social Committee

On the evening of December 16th listen carefully and you will hear Carollers a-wassailing from door to door at 7pm. They are joined by Father Christmas himself who will be delivering holiday cheer to every house.

Then, don your toque and mittens and join your neighbours around a fire pit by the lending library. There will be hot drinks, chips, cookies and marshmallows for roasting.

At 8pm Father Christmas will sit at the fire and share a story or two while the Carollers inspire us with more songs to come together in harmony.

BYO Cups and roasting rods.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

Sunnyhill Easter Sunday Egg Hunt!

Submitted by James Jordan on behalf of the Social Committee

Dear SunnyhIll,

The Social Committee has designed an idea for this year's Easter Sunday Egg Hunt and we would like to invite you to participate.

Place an Easter decoration in your window. A large decoration that can be seen from the ground.

Our kids are tasked with drawing the decorations in exchange for a basket of Easter treats.

Please join us. Register your home as “hunters” or “decorators” at the link below.

Halloween Decorations Grant

Submitted by Tyla Cosgrove on behalf of Social Committee

Neighbours,

With the persistence of and concern for the Coronavirus, we the social committee are looking for fun and creative ways to amplify a holiday that normally depends on close contact, Halloween! We are trying to plan ahead in case it doesn't end up going to plan as many things in 2020 have not!

So, here's the deal. We are accepting proposals from membership of how you will decorate your car port to make it extra fun and exciting. From the proposals we receive we will select our favorite two and grant $100 each to spend on your decor. We encourage you to make as much on you own decorations as possible. If part of your design requires you to purchase a store-bought Halloween item, so be it, but the grants are meant to help you see your vision through, not pay for a full haunted house. (As one social committee member mentioned, store bought Halloween items are pricy! 

Pro Tip: We will be extra encouraged by entries that involve collaborations with your neighbours and children in the co-op. 

Please have your proposals submitted to the office by October 15th, they will come through to the social committee anonymously (which means the social committee members are allowed to participate) and we will choose two winners with $100 dollars towards their installation! We will need you to keep and submit all your receipts for payment. Winners will be announced on October 19th. Even if you aren't selected, we encourage everyone to participate in decorating this Halloween! 

We are looking forward to making it a special one no matter what the circumstances.

Stay safe Sunnyhill!

COVID-19 information

Submitted by Ren Stewart

On behalf of the Social Committee in collaboration with the Education Committee:

 AHS is suggesting neighbours keep an eye on each other in case anybody gets the coronavirus and needs to stay home for the recommended 2 weeks or 14 days. I think we should be proactive and make an emergency plan for our community to not only contain any outbreak but to prevent it from spreading.

 Links are provided for most of the information anyone would need.

 How do I protect myself?

  • Alberta Health Services 

  • To help protect against all respiratory illnesses, including the flu and COVID-19, you should: sh your hands often and well. Refer to hand-washing guidance
    here: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/info/Page14955.aspx

    1. Avoid touching your face, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. 

    2. Avoid close contact with people who are sick

    3. Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched

    4. Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill (14 days)

    5. When sick, cover your cough and sneezes and then wash your hands. Refer to respiratory etiquette guidance here: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/info/Page14511.aspx 

 https://www.alberta.ca/coronavirus-info-for-albertans.aspx

 Includes: 

  • Regular updates

  • Cases

  • How to prepare households and communities

  • Building an emergency kit, etc.

Symptoms

 COVID-19 symptoms are similar to influenza or other respiratory illnesses. Common symptoms include:

  • fever

  • cough

  • extreme tiredness

Symptom of serious illness include:

  • difficulty breathing

  • pneumonia

Most people (about 80%) recover without needing special treatment. However, it can cause serious illness in some, and there is a risk of death in severe cases.

While we are still learning about how COVID-19 people who are older or have with pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, lung disease, cancer or diabetes) appear to develop serious illness more often than others.

If you have symptoms, stay home and call Health Link 811 for instructions.
