Happy Canada Day (belated) from your Deer Run
Community Association board! It is with great happiness
that we enter another summer season in Deer Run.
Although, again, we enter a “COVID modified” summer, this
year seems (fingers crossed) to be a little closer to normal.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mercy
and the rest of the DROOS staff, as well as Rob and the
DRCA staff for their excellent commitment to safety
and sanitization through these months, I am sure that
many parents feel better knowing that the DROOS staff
are staying vigilante with the health and safety of our
children as their top concern.
Our Gymnasium roof project is well under way, ensuring
that many more wonderful events will be held, sports
will be played, movie nights will be watched, jellybean
dances will rock, jazzercise will jump, and Sunday prayers
will be heard there again! We appreciate all those who
helped make this happen and thank everyone affected
for their patience during the construction process. due to the pandemic and it is best to call in advance to
