Letter from Art & Dave... after our last update on the rules required for events... in October 2022

Dear NBW Guests,

As many of you may know, the Canadian Federal Government over the weekend (October 1st, 2022) has suspended its Covid screening regulations as it pertains to travelers coming into Canada. The Ontario Government had already significantly eased restrictions to the point that it's almost become pre-pandemic "Business As Usual". Our initial statement regarding Covid; proof of vaccination and mask wearing were more robust but with the caveat that we'll monitor changes and adjust our policy accordingly to what is happening at the Provincial and Federal levels.

Because of the recent changes, we have made the decision to drop the proof of vaccination for entry into the event and the mandatory wearing of masks at a game table. Mask wearing while optional, is highly recommended. We also ask that if you are experiencing Covid-like symptoms, that you get tested to confirm you are negative for Covid. If positive, we ask that you refrain from coming to NBW to avoid infecting fellow gamers.

We trust that this will meet with most, if not all attendees' acceptance and look forward to hosting in January.

Art and Dave
