Good morning, I hope everyone had a great weekend with their friends and family. Remember to Social Distance and follow the rules in place.
Flatten the curve and let's see how Phase 3 goes because we still have a long road ahead of us before the new normal is 100% in effect. This will all be a distant memory and we can all look back and say remember 2020 of how the world was basically shut down. Additional restrictions will be lifted starting May 29th 2020.

All the Clients and Staff @ Catena Jobs Plus Not a nice day outside here in Saint John, N.B. today as it's raining but on to a little bit of positive news.

Over time we will be able to get out those fishing rods, golf clubs and enjoy some of our outdoor activities that we were really missing due to the pandemic.

Heidi Stevenson & other innocent victims killed in #NovaScotia. Please join with everyone throughout Canada by wearing Red today. #NovaScotiaStrong #WearRedFriday #RCMPNeverForget   Short and sweet, and to the point.
Find the hope. Find the joy. We are missing lots of small, and not so small things, but there are people making the best of it. Pandemic brides are a thing right now. Getting married in little, super private ceremonies and postponing their dream weddings. Birthday parades are happening, where family member decorate their cars to drive by and give some joy to the birthday girl or boy who can't celebrate with them. Ways to make it work are visible if you search for the happy. The sun is shining! Follow its lead! Catena Jobs Plus Skills & Development clients volunteer 5 days a week throughout the community and due to this pandemic are not able to continue. We would like to at this moment to thank the following groups for allowing us to do this each day and can't wait to get back once this all is over:
 Our hearts lie with our neighbours in Nova Scotia. While we are already facing a pandemic and rules and regulations many of us have never witnessed before, our neighbouring province faces tragedies we have unfortunately seen. This happens too often in this day and age and there are no words to explain it. It's scary and at the same time you witness a community, a province, a country band together. When faced with senseless violence, the only thing we have is each other. Reach out to loved ones, it's hard not being with them but conversations still help. Remember that children will hear things on the news and don't have their normal routines and friends to talk to. You are their whole routine right now and they may need to talk. Our prayers are with those who've lost their lives, and those who kept so many others safe.

Another beautiful sunny day out there in Saint John,N.B. Fire up the BBQ's, take in the beautiful sunshine with some outdoor activities,and what better way to cap it all off than wishing everyone who is celebrating a birthday in the month of April a big Happy Birthday. Catena Jobs Plus staff are wishing all there April birthday's today and we will continue working hard everyday to keep in touch with everyone until we can official re-open the center doors so we can have everyone back roaming our hallways. . . #wewillgetthroughthistogether #nonprofit #shoplocal  We hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. There was some nice weather, food and fun to be had if you were looking for it.
Some of our staff found online card websites and had a social online gathering through video chat. A local art party provider hosted an online paint night - and has announced they'll host more. Lots of families still had Easter dinner - by making it and doing deck drop offs or driveway drop offs and face timing with family. It is a difficult time, but there are things to be done to keep connected with friends and family. It's not easy, but a necessity as numbers continue to climb when we need them not to. Remember to limit your time at stores. Use delivery and pick up services when you can, and support local. Together we will pull through this. As we move into Easter we'd like to discuss feelings for this holiday weekend.
It's hard. Hard to be separated from family and friends during a time when we are usually the closest. We feel this with you, as a community this is not something we've dealt with before. This shall pass. There will be a time when this will be a memory we discuss at Easter dinner, 'remember that year we couldn't even leave our houses'. Some ideas to get you through this weekend: -Video chat with friends, play a game online with them. -Plan to make dinner at the same time as your family and video chat while you all eat. -Drop off some treats and surprise those you love. A sort of Ding, Dong, Dash if you will. -Breathe. It's not easy and you need to take a minute to acknowledge that. We hope you have a good long weekend. Make the best of it. Staff of Catena Jobs Plus The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and Catena staff are a working. WORKING Working from home they said. It's a beautiful day to grab that lawn chair and drink of choice and head on outside to get some fresh air and relax under the sun while taking in another beautiful day. Learning and activity packages were all delivered yesterday and what better way than to do them outside today.  |
