I was just wanting to send out a preliminary notice of board member changes as well to keep you informed of any news regarding COVID-19 and our return to play for the 2020/2021 Ringette season. We are still awaiting the Return to Play plan from Ringette BC, as are all of the leagues within our province. In the interim, we are working behind the scenes with the arenas and board members to have as much of a battle plan as possible so that when we do get the guidelines from Ringette BC we can move forward. We will not inundate you with emails, but rather will be posting any and all updates/news via our social platforms and association webpage. Please, if you’ve not already done so, fill out the Association Survey to help with us gathering information.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at president@fvringette.com.
Sincerely, Nicole Burdes
