Reminder. Safety means different things to different people. For some, the pandemic is over; for others, especially those with chronic illness, disability, and/or compromised immune systems, the risk of developing serious illness and/or Long COVID is significant. Wa Na Wari is a space of belonging, which means we do our best to make sure everyone belongs, including the most vulnerable among us. We strongly encourage that masks be worn while indoors at Wa Na Wari, except when eating or drinking. For some events, masks will be required. We have masks at the door if you need one. Thank you for your understanding and solidarity.
