Urgent Notice: Covid-19 Tauranga Multicultural Office closure
We hope this notice finds you in good health.
As you probably already know, NZ is ramping up its response to stop the spread of Covid-19 and as part of that response, many public gatherings have been cancelled.
Due to the Covid-19 virus, the Multicultural Office in Tauranga will be closed to the public from today Monday 23rd March, until further notice.
If you need any help our office phone 07- 571 6419 and email enquiries@trmc.co.nz will be monitored, and we will help if we can.
We understand that this will cause many inconveniences but keeping everyone safe should be our top priority and to prevent the virus from becoming widespread in Aotearoa.
Our activities are also on hold until further notice, these include:
Wednesday Newcomers Network morning teas
Owl Chat evenings
Language classes
Tai Chi sessions
Any outside evening bookings
JP sessions (Thursday)
