General Store Implements COVID-19 Safety Measures

community · April 2020 · Denman Island General Store

The Denman Island General Store has implemented new COVID-19 safety measures including supplying bags to customers (no longer allowing personal bags), installing a plexiglass shield at the till, enforcing physical distancing of 2 metres, and encouraging contactless payment and placing purchases on the counter before stepping back.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

We have installed (thank you Rob Manering) a plexiglass shield at our till... The province is stressing that physical distancing is a must.” — The Islands Grapevine – April 2nd, 2020 (April 2nd, 2020)
