Keeping You Safe

To protect yourself and others, Public Health recommends that you wear a mask if you’re in a crowded, indoor place. As such, we recommend that you wear a mask when you are at the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra.

Not everyone will have the same degree of comfort with the lifting of restrictions, and we ask that you please respect the personal space and comfort level of those around you
