Fall Update

Dear All

I would have been walking the Camino Portuguese from Porto (Portugal) to Santiago de Compostela (Spain) at this moment if there was no COVID. But instead, all my 2020 travelling plans are cancelled, and I am staying home in Ottawa. I am not giving up walking, though. Regularly, I walk alone or with other walkers around Ottawa. In this unprecedented uncertain time, this seagull (in the picture that I took last week along the Ottawa River on the Gatineau side) demonstrated her unwavering calmness standing in the middle of the turbulent current. It is a potent reminder to us during this pandemic of not being panicky, be aware of the surrounding, keeping steady, and taking appropriate action.

We completed our office move to the new place at 112 Kent Street in late August. It is a modern office with bright natural light and up-to-date technology. Unfortunately, no client meeting is allowed to occur in the office until the virus situation is under control. I am now working from my home office that is being upgraded with new computer software and hardware. We are using Microsoft Teams video link to conduct virtual meetings with clients. The technology allows us to share documents and illustrations online instantly, like I am sitting right next to you at the comfort of your own home. Please let me know so that I can schedule a virtual meeting with you. Besides, our operation is being streamlined and advanced with new technology to adapt to the rapid changes and to maintain and improve servicing clients.
