n early March, our concerns regarding the coronavirus were restricted to how it was impacting travel, the stock market, and the global economy, given that Canada was not yet in the same crisis situation that was being seen elsewhere in the world. That all changed in midMarch as cases grew within our borders, the restrictions on travel increased, and there was suddenly an immediate impact on friends, family, co-workers, and clients. We spent the weekend of March 14/15 getting up to date on all of the information and developments coming from the Provincial and Federal governments. Our partners met the following Monday morning to discuss a plan to address the concerns we had for our staff’s and clients’ safety. What complicated things was that this all started during the lead-up to our busiest time of year, when we have all staff on hand, have brought in Post-Secondary students for their coop terms, and the volume of clients coming into our office starts to steadily increase.
