Covid 19 Resource Info

This is a good time to stay put, my friends.

This is a “living document’ meaning that I will be changing the information as needed, when needed.

I am happy to add more information to this document. You can contact me via Facebook or via email at theclevercorvid@outlook.com. I will add more information once a day as needed.

This resource is intended for Canadians, and more specifically, people living in North West Ontario, but has resources that can help us all.

She is now working on the next stage of her artistic career as she and her husband slowly transform 167 acres of land just outside of Dryden, Ontario, into a future artist's retreat. Rhonda can be found at local festivals and on Facebook, peddling her creative wares that are inspired by the beautiful nature that surrounds her.
