HOW TO: Netflix w/Friends While Social Distancing!

COVID-19 has us all spending extra time at home, and time away from family and friends. That doesn’t mean you can’t catch a movie or watch TV together though!

Netflix Party is a new way to hang with your friends from a distance. The free Google Chrome extension synchronizes video playback and also adds a group chat. If one person pauses the show, it pauses for all! Plus you can all yuck it up over something and rewind it to watch it and laugh together over-and-over! You can check out Netflix Party by clicking the image below.

My good buddy Brad Best (Great name! Does that make him my Best friend!?) from our sister-station CKDR in Dryden has some other suggestions for how you can pass the time, including a free colouring book from a local artist. Check out Brad’s page by clicking on his face below (and give his cheeks a good pinch while you’re at it!)

For the latest news updates, cancellations and closures, links to government resources and virus assessment tools, and answers to frequently asked questions, check out the COVID-19 page on this website. It’s a very handy tool. Click the image below.
