While we urge you to continue to social distance, we understand the need to stay active during this trying time. Thankfully, fresh air and outdoor exercise are still allowed and we encourage you to enjoy both safely. Remember it’s important to keep at least 2m apart from others so we can all help to #stopthespread.
