Most of us are happy to bid farewell to 2020. The COVID pandemic, arriving early in year, resulted in the cancellation of most of Tamworth’s summer activities including The Barnstormers Theatre, the Red Cross swim program, many concerts, church services, sports programs, Family Day, street fairs and community events. Families were unable to see their loved ones on special occasions and in nursing homes, and many businesses were forced to close, some permanently, resulting in widespread unemployment. The mounting death toll and tragic loss of lives reported on the news media, was a sombre background to our daily lives.

For several months, a COVID-testing site at Troop E in Tamworth provided a convenient, accessible location for anyone to get tested. Our incidences of infection and mortality remained relatively low.
