Programs
Due to the current pandemic, recreation programs have been suspended. In looking
towards summer, which is the season with the most program offerings, staff has been
working on alternate methods to deliver those activities. No in-person programs will be
offered in the month of June and will be replaced with virtual offerings. A plan is being
developed for in-person offerings in July and August. Those offerings will be modified as
needed if ongoing safety concerns require those changes. A marketing plan on how to
educate the public on the modified program offerings is also being developed.
