We are now over the year mark of living with COVID-19, and many of us are feeling ‘COVID fatigue’. The pandemic has caused a fundamental change in all our lives. The only constant we’ve had is the constant of the unknown. While vaccines have brought a renewed sense of hope, new variants of the virus are spreading, and they are moving quickly. Cases and hospitalizations are back on the rise. As such, we urge Jamati members to remain vigilant and continue to follow public health guidelines.

Keep physically distancing, wear a mask, wash your hands often, stay home if you are feeling unwell at all, avoid any unnecessary out of province travel, and try to limit your number of close contacts as much as possible.

Now is not the time to let our guard down. We must continue to take care of one another, by remaining vigilant.

The Jamat is also requested to please get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible. Eligibility criteria is available at Alberta.ca.

The Council for Edmonton is pleased to advise the Jamat of the planned re-opening of Red Deer Jamatkhana on Monday, March 8, 2021.

We continue to closely monitor the evolving public health situation with our health professionals. Preparations and volunteer training are underway to mitigate risk and to safeguard the health of the Jamat. 

In line with the cautious and measured approach to re-opening, Jamatkhana capacity will initially be limited and will be adjusted in time as appropriate to the evolving circumstances.

Members of the Jamat who have already registered to attend Jamatkhana through the Jamatkhana registration site do not need to take any further action - the registration system will assign spots and inform Jamati members as spots become available.  

Thank you for your understanding and support, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
