If you have other resources that we can share to others in Food Service Managment - please email me at mmolag@langara.ca

Stay well, everyone.

Hello fellow Food Service colleague, 

Due to the high demand for this COVID-19 topic & and web-based learning needs right now globally, the GotoWebinar platform didn’t perform as expected on Friday. We had over 525 people sign up in 4 short days. Some folks were unable to log in, or the session was FULL. My deep apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused you & your team.

The good news is the 1 hour education session didn’t crash and a full recording was able to occur. The link & handouts are attached, and it will also be on your membership sites (DC Gerontology Network site, and CSNM site);


Hope the information is helpful to you & your staff, as we all lean on Best Practices during COVID-19 crisis – do reach out if you have any questions.

Please stay encouraged!
