Dear Ringette Ontario Members, Due to the current uncertainty with COVID-19, Ringette Ontario has made the decision to suspend all sanctioned Ringette activities, including tryouts, until August 1st. This date is based on the assumption of the re-opening of facilities by then but will be reconsidered at that time. Ringette Ontario will continue to follow the recommendations by Ringette Canada and Public Health to ensure the safety and well being of our members. Please note that any events held prior to this date will be considered unsanctioned and thus, not insured. We encourage our members and Associations to use online tools to continue to run meetings, conduct coach selections/interviews and social interactions (We have all been enjoying the social media that Associations have been sharing!). If any Association is interested in acccessing the Ringette Ontario conference lines and/or video conferencing tool, please contact Pam Julian at executivedirector@ringetteontario.com . Remember that while we are having to physically distance ourselves, we can still be social through email, social media and video/phone calls. The Ringette Ontario team has continued to work hard from our individual home offices and will be sending out updates on a regular basis. If you have any questions or requests, please reach out to one of the team - our contact emails can be found on the website at www.ringetteontario.com - and we would be more than happy to help. We wish you and your loved ones health and safety during these troubling times. Yours in Ringette, Pam Julian Executive Director |
