Things at Acacia Cove Village are slowly but surely returning to “normal”.

There were many changes in Acacia Cove Village since the lock-down, as it was our priority to keep everyone safe. We even set up a little “shop” so our residents didn’t have to go out shopping.

I am sure we are all very grateful to be able to move around more freely and join in some of the activities Acacia Cove has to offer. It can be a bit tricky to keep the numbers to 10 or less, and social distancing is hard to do.

However, after some brainstorming, we came up with and implemented some basic strategies to help everyone to adhere to the rules.

From the village manager, Bruce Cullington, staff and Acacia Cove Residents, we would like to wish you well, and thank you for the part you played to keep our community safe.

They think that is especially ok to use the phone while stopped at a signal. Well, IT IS NOT OK. I am seriously contemplating taking their pictures as well as their car details and passing them on to the police. Unfortunately, these offenders cannot be classified under any particular occupation, ethnicity, etc. PLEASE STOP USING YOUR MOBILES WHILE DRIVING, YOU MAY MAIM OR VEN KILL SOMEONE.
