Next weeks Thorold Garden Club meeting, due to be held on March 18 has been cancelled due to the spread of COVID-19.
In an email sent out to members, club president Leslie Daniels said continuing as normal in the wake of the pandemic will only lead to the virus to spread further.
"The only way to combat this at all is to remove the hosts the virus needs to live: That is US - people… It cannot spread without us," the email stated.
The meetings are only the latest in a long row of public gatherings cancelled due to the ongoing spread of the flu-like condition.
Niagara health authorities have not yet reported any cases in the region.
