At SIGN (Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbors) the way we provide services has changed.
The doors are locked, and SIGN staff is working from home as of March 24, in order to ensure the safety and health of clients and staff during the Covid-19 pandemic, said a release. At this time there is no set schedule for how long the new way of providing services will have to be in place.
鈥淲e continue to look for innovative ways to implement programs and services while adhering to safety protocols and standards. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time,鈥� the release said.
Please note that any information stated here may change at any time, based on the ongoing advice and guidance from Saskatchewan government ministries and provincial and local health authorities.
