The Fallbrook Community Planning Group voted to retain its meetings in a virtual format at least until January.

A 10-3 planning group vote Dec. 20 approved having the Jan. 17 meeting virtually rather than in person.

“I think it would be prudent for the next month to do it virtually,” said planning group first vice-chair Roy Moosa.

“We’re getting so much more community involvement virtually,” said planning group member Anna Strahan.

The planning group meets on the third Monday of the month regardless of whether that date is a government holiday. Jan. 17 is Martin Luther King Day, which is the public sector version of National Hockey League Integration Day, and the third Monday of February (which will be Feb. 21) is President’s Day. A virtual meeting rather than an in-person meeting eliminates the need to travel on a day when planning group members or members of the public might not otherwise be leaving their homes.

“You can wear sweats to these virtual meetings,” said planning group chair Eileen Delaney.
