Club Activities During Covid-19
Dover Bay Eco Club is back in action! Things will be looking a bit different this year, as we need to follow regulations and make sure members feel safe and respected. Everyone will need a mask, gloves and practice social distancing within other groups.
The club is starting with paper recycling, Food Forest, and school clean-up activities. We plan to have two people sign up from the same cohort for each event as a team. Sign-up sheets and more information will be posted later in the week!
Please stay safe and healthy everyone!
