Isolation is a major issue, particularly amongst seniors and others who do not have internet access during this time of social distancing. But how can you help your neighbours while maintaining a safe distance? We put together a poster with a short list of resources in Peter-McGill accessible by phone, including food delivery services, and phone lines open 24/7. The posters can be printed at home, or you can contact Viviane, our Mobilisation Officer to receive a poster drop-off. You can put up posters in your building – in elevators, community boards – or at your preferred pharmacy or grocery store.

Step 1: Get Posters

• Print your own at home by downloading this poster file. The file is in colour but it will work fine in black and white!
• Request a no-contact poster drop-off by e-mailing vcottle@cjemontreal.org

Step 2: Put posters up

• Post them in your building – in the elevators, on the community bulletin board, at your building entrance – anywhere people might be likely to pass by it! 
• Post them at your local grocery store or pharmacy – ask local essential businesses if there is a place you could put up a poster or two on display
• Ask your neighbourhood friends to do the same! The more people who put up posters, the more people we have a chance of reaching!
• Please avoid handing out posters to people directly – it is important that this initiative is done at a distance as much as possible in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Step 3: Tell us where the posters are displayed

• Take a moment to fill out this quick google sheet to tell us where you put up posters.
• This will help us all know where posters are already placed, so that we avoid doubling work
