Dear AAO Members, conference attendees, and conference presenters,

The Archives Association of Ontario (AAO) is closely monitoring developments on COVID-19 and possible implications on our services. The 2020 AAO Conference in Thunder Bay, ON, is scheduled to proceed as planned from 13 to 15 May.

The AAO cares about the well-being and safety of our community and is committed to offering a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for our 2020 Conference. As of today there are no confirmed or presumptive cases of COVID-19 in the Thunder Bay area and the level of risk to visitors is low. Up-to-date information on Thunder Bay’s response to COVID-19 and other helpful resources are available here.

We are in communication with members, conference speakers, attendees, and exhibitors. Please write to us at aao@archivists-aao.ca if you have any questions or concerns.

The AAO Board of Directors hopes to welcome you all in Thunder Bay this May. We will issue communications on any further developments here, on the AAO email listserv, and through our social media channels.
