We will apply the province’s physical distancing recommendations. http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/prevention-risks/physical-distancing
That means wear a mask (this is mandatory!), bring your own food/drink and chair,we will not share, stay apart especially when eating. 6 feet or 2m apart.
Come with your energy, your loud voice (to cover the distance) and your stories. Leave with more energy and new connections with other international immigrant women in STEM. Remember we are stronger together.
