	*		* How does the hiring of a Downtown Shop manager factor into our budget?
			** It's budgeted to hire them at 20 hours/week
			** They would qualify for the wage subsidy until the end of May
			** If they're laid off at the end of the wage subsidy period, they would qualify for the CERB. Would work out better financially for all parties.
			* Delayed the interviewing of Downtown Shop Manager with uncertainty surrounding COVID-19
			* Want to minimize number of people coming through the shop; want a dedicated staff member at each shop
			* HR Committee to go ahead and set up interviews with qualified candidates
