Hello Everyone,

It excites me to hear that more and more of you are getting vaccinated. I am getting my COVID-19 vaccination this afternoon! I am astounded and grateful for the speed at which science has enabled these vaccines. With the rollout, we are getting closer to putting COVID behind us.

Things are looking much brighter but we all need to continue to be vigilant. Since the beginning of the pandemic, my main priority has been the health of safety of all of you and our public. Thanks to the efforts of many, the AGO is a very safe environment. Again, this is in large part due to vigilant, regular cleaning and I’m deeply grateful to Facilities staff who have maintained a rigorous schedule over the past year.

We’ll have to live with COVID for a little bit longer and I want us all to come out of this healthy. So far, we are doing very well.

Take care, and stay safe,

Stephan
