Welcome


Welcome to Renate's Baton. This blog is mostly for and about my choir, The York Region Community Choir.

But, While I'm holding the baton, I'm in charge. So, if I want to talk about other parts of my life, I will. :)

The choir itself is a community and I'm discovering that we have a lot in common with one another besides our love of music and singing.

When I go off on a tangent, there is always a crowd coming along. Join us!

YRCC Updated COVID Protocols- March 2022

YRCC choir members, please come back as soon as you're comfortable. 

We have plenty of space at Trinity Aurora. We are currently sitting closer than 2M but wearing either a mask or a face shield. 

Here's the list of our updated pandemic protocols. 

  1. Wear your mask. Wear your mask any time you are away from your seat. You can sing with your mask on, but you don't have to. We also have plastic face shields for everyone. Give a face shield a try. 
  2. Stay healthy and do not come if you are feeling ill; stay home when you're sick. 
  3. You can screen yourself online before you leave home here. (The Ontario screening tool. It's so easy! Click on "Start Screening" and keep clicking.) Or, you can screen yourself using this form, attached, a PDF version. We do not have to see your screening. You are responsible for this. 
  4. Generally, wash your hands often with soap and water and dry them well. 
  5. Use hand sanitizer when you can't access soap and water.
  6. Avoid touching your face. 
  7. Only go out when necessary (choir is necessary).
  8. Keep high contact surfaces (door handles, for example) clean.
The church is asking us to keep our things, including coats, in the room with us. We are to clean/disinfect the high contact surfaces. We set up our chairs and then put them away after. Thank you to everyone who's been helping with that!

We are not asking for proof of vaccination anymore. But, personally, I hope you are all up-to-date on your shots. We will keep up-to-date with and keep following the provincial rules and the rules of our host, Trinity Anglican Church in Aurora. 

Stay safe and healthy, and come back to choir!
