2020 has been a year that none of us will soon forget. With the second closure of our beloved AGO due to Covid-19, we are reminded that we are still in the midst of a serious global pandemic and that everyone’s health & safety remains #1 priority.
During a Volunteer Connector call in August, Stephan told volunteers how much we are missed in the gallery and was transparent that it will be some time before we return. As we look ahead to an uncertain 2021, we do our best to plan knowing that we must stay flexible and adapt. Our primary focus from a learning and development perspective will be rolling out Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) training and subsequent discussion groups (more on that in the New Year!)
We will continue to use the Volunteer Blog and Facebook group to share:
- Updates from Stephan and the AGO
- Messages from the Volunteer Council (VC)
- Resources of interest to volunteers including: online programs, events, talks and links
Stay up-to-date with what’s happening at the AGO by signing up for the AGO Insider and by following the AGO on social media (@agotoronto) on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
We encourage everyone to stay connected during this time and to reach out to one another directly, as many of you have been doing since early March.
Wishing you all good health.
The Volunteer Council (VC)
