Public Health in partnership with Hospitality NL and Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism are offering an information session for festival organizers to learn more about the new gathering sizes and how you can safely offer your event or festival this year in accordance to the “Together Again” Plan. The plan outlines tentative timelines for relaxing the long-term Public Health measures including travel, self-isolation, and gathering sizes.
If your group or community is considering options for offering a festival, please contact HealthInfo@gov.nl.ca with details about your proposed event.
The session will be lead by Douglas House.
