Update for Member’s of the Royal City Men’s Club
With the introduction of measures by the Provincial Government in March 2020 to slow the spread of the COVID 19 virus, it was necessary for the RCMC to suspend all in-person meetings and the numerous activities that had been planned for the upcoming fiscal year. This included tours that had already been scheduled by our activities committee as well as many fun events such as our annual Christmas and Valentines Day dinners and our Anniversary luncheon. Once the current round of COVID restrictions are relaxed, the Activities Committee will reconvene and plan some safe activities for the remainder of the season, subject to provincial regulations. We hope to squeeze in some tours, as well as some get-togethers. Stay tuned for further details.

To Our Members,
Royal City Men’s Club - Update Related to COVID-19 - Updated 7 March 2021
In line with guidelines from the government and public health professionals, Royal City Men’s Club continues to cancel all "live" lectures, activities and coffee club get-togethers until further notice. We anticipate that we will be able to reconsider live lectures sometime in the fall of 2021.
In the meantime, we are continuing to offer "virtual" meetings where speakers give "virtual" presentation using Zoom. Also, on alternative Thursdays, we will have a "virtual coffee morning", again using Zoom. Thus there will be either a lecture or a coffee morning very Thurs at 10 am (login open at 9:30 am). In order to simplify Zoom logins, everyone will be sent a single link which will apply to all these meetings.
If you have not been participating in these Zoom meetings, they are now running very smoothly. If you need assistance with Zoom, we can provide some training. Please let us know.
We thank you for your understanding and patience. We will continue to communicate via our mailing list and on our website to keep you well informed. There is additional information on the website.
In the meantime, your health is of primary importance and we encourage everyone to follow the advice of the government and health professionals.
