Welcome Chai!
We’d like to announce a new addition to the Mercer Family. Our new kitten Chai joined us about a week ago and is finally feeling safe enough to come out and socialize. She is beautiful and full of spunk! Welcome to the family Chai!

BC’s Restart Plan now in effect.
BC’s Restart Plan isn’t a return to normal, but it’s a hopeful, careful step toward a real recovery for all of us.
COVID-19 won’t be behind us for many months (until there’s a vaccine). The new normal means following these golden rules.

Unity in Japan against Covid-19
Good to see different faiths joining together to pray in Japan. Each day at 12:00 until May 31 they ask people of all faiths to pray for the end of Covid-19. In a way it is kind of similar to our making noise for our front line workers at 7:00pm.

God help us keep our heads above water!
We stumbled across Avril’s “Head Above Water” last year about this time and has been a real encouragement to us and is in the Mercer playlist regularly. May it encourage you as well during these stressful times.

Know your cleaning agents and be safe.
PSA from Island Health. You might be cleaning more than usual right now. This is graphic from West Vancouver Fire & Rescue illustrates how combinations of everyday household items can produce unsafe and even deadly gas, acids and vapours.

Stay Strong BC!
Stay Strong BC! I am so very proud of Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix who continue to lead us. Keep up the good work. It is because you are doing such an excellent job that inspires the front line folks to keep up the fight! The nurses, the doctors, the cleaning staff, the truck drivers, the grocery store staff, the pharmacy staff, the ferry workers and the list goes on and on.
