It’s hard to believe 2020 has come and gone. It’s already March 2021 and we are faced with the same dilemma that we faced a year ago during the initial stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank everyone for their support during a very difficult 2020, whether you decided to canoe last season or not.
The OSSCC Board of Directors has been meeting via Zoom regularly to monitor the Covid-19 situation and how it affects our Club activities. The recommendation by the Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health is to discontinue any large gatherings to keep our community safe and stop the spread of the virus. As such all OSSCC activities have been suspended until further notice. This includes canoeing, training and all social activities.
With our 2021 Membership Drive cancelled, your Board of Directors would like everyone who wishes to remain an OSSCC member, to notify us either by phone or email so we can continue to keep you on the membership list. Rather than have everyone fill out a new 2021 membership application/waiver, we are going to extend the 2020 form to apply to 2021 for your convenience. We will not be collecting any membership fees at this time as long as no club activity takes place i.e. canoeing, training. etc. We ask that you check the current members hip list on the Blog and let us know if any of your information has changed. Please call (519) 501-2078 or email me at eugene.marion@gmail.com
Our Board of Directors will continue to meet via Zoom to try to navigate through this COVID 19 crisis with the hope that we can have another great canoe season. Thank you for your cooperation. We will be in touch when the situation changes and we are ready to resume our scheduled events. In the meantime, we wish you well. Stay healthy!
I hope that when we return to whatever colour we were in last summer or if we are vaccinated , that we can have canoeing activities again.
Thank you Eugene and the members of the board for your leadership and communications during these unique times.
Count me in! I have the trip schedule ready for when (hopefully) our canoeing season resumes.
I am so much looking forward to the 2021
Canoe season. We will be soo much safer now that people who want it will be vaccinated. Get the good 0ne haha.
