Greetings Ward 8 Residents,

The holiday weekend is fast approaching and the traditional way residents celebrated the 4th of July holiday is not advised. Mayor Muriel Bowers is advising residents to stay home to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. 
 

Please keep the following in mind when planning your 4th of July event:

• Outdoor activities are preferred over indoor activities, but the virus can still spread outdoors, so please take precautions by wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. 
• When inviting people over or going to another person’s gathering, consider the available space. Only host or attend events where guests have space to social distance.
• If anyone in your household does not feel well, CANCEL THE GATHERING and remind guests to stay home if they do not feel well.

Regards,
