NEIGHBOURHOOD BULLETIN BOARD
Cotton shirts
Bettye Hyde Early Learning Centre, now it is cleared for reopening, is looking for washable shirts that the staff can wear when hugging/holding, bathrooming children. These shirts can only be worn once while dealing with one child and then must be laundered so they need lots. Please be assured the shirts will be reused many times over, and once they are no longer required they will be donated to the Salvation Army. If you are able to help keep the children and staff safe by donating long sleeved cotton shirts, you can drop them off at the school—43 Blackburn Ave. at Osgoode.
A quiet apartment
Phil Caron (whose drawings are featured regularly in IMAGE) needs to move. He is looking for a modestly priced, very quiet apartment for rent. As a meditation/yoga practitioner, a very quiet environment is top priority (e.g. not a student -filled residence). You can reach him at philcar@sympatico.ca

People to take tick precautions
Ticks are NOT social distancing despite pandemic. Pets and people need to take precautions before heading outside. You can learn more about the risks of tick-caused Lyme disease at the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (canlyme.com). If you have been bitten by a tick, Emilie Norris-Roozmon, a master’s student at Queen’s University, would like to hear from you. She has launched an online survey that tracks the aftermath of being bitten: (bit.ly/Tick-Survey).
