Operat- ing Room Technicians from 1 Cdn Fd Hosp also departed from other locations on a later date, and 20 members are currently deployed. CAF Health Services personnel will support the Canadian healthcare system in clinical placements in locations across the country, where medical support teams will collaborate with the civilian medical staff on site. Update on Canadian Armed Forces’ response to COVID-19 pandemic - Canadians can trust that, in times of need, their Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) will be there for them. This is especially true right now, as people from coast to coast to coast come together to face the unprecedented challenges caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the CAF is no exception. As active members of our communities, we are proud to be there for our federal, provincial, territo- rial, municipal and Indigenous partners when needed. Caring for elders and vulnerable people in Long Term Care Facilities As part of the response underway to help Canadians in the context of COVID‑19, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have been supporting civilian authorities in Quebec since April 20, 2020, and in Ontario since April 28, 2020, as agreed between the provincial and federal governments. Members deployed in Long Term Care Facilities (LTCFs, or CHSLD in Quebec) are working collaboratively with their pro- vincial partners and with medical staff in the homes to maintain (Top photo) Along with the Commanding Officer and staffing levels and help with infection control and prevention.

It plays on a flaw in human psychology—it’s very easy for us to appreciate effects when we do something. It’s almost impossible to see the effects of not doing something. If you cough on someone and they get sick, that’s easy to understand. If you decide to stay home, and would have infected two people if you had gone out, that can only be imagined, not seen.

It is with the utmost sadness that The Board of Directors of the Beachburg Agricultural Society has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s beloved Beachburg Fair. The uncertainty that COVID-19 brings and the safety of all have been the major deciding factors to this decision.

The ceremony was conducted while respecting the proper COVID-19 social distancing protocols. The Commanding Officer of 2 Sigs, Lieutenant-Colonel Perron and the Regi- mental Sergeant Major, Chief Warrant Of- ficer Tanner, laid a wreath at the newly refurbished cairn near the Memorial Park to honour the seven jumpers who served and sacrificed in days gone by. For 52 years, survivors, family, friends, retired and serving Canadian Armed Forces members have gathered to commemorate those who lost their lives in what is known as the Fallen Jumpers memorial service. On 8 May 1968, the airborne soldiers (Above) Chief Warrant Officer Tanner reads the names of the fallen: MWO Riddell, WO McDonnell, were participating in an exercise called Cpl Chiswell, Cpl Clements, Cpl Fields, Cpl Knight, and Cpl Misener.
