2022 OKANAGAN REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
posted Dec 28, 2021, 6:55 AM
Good morning.
I'm disappointed to inform our club members that yesterday evening we received notice that the 2022 Okanagan Regional Championships (February 4-6, 2022 in Armstrong, BC) has been cancelled due to COVID concerns.
Please see the email sent from Janet Gordon (Okanagan Region Chair);
Hi Everyone
I hope this holiday season is finding you all well.
I am writing to inform you that after much discussion it has been decided by the Okanagan Region Board in consultation with the host club that we will be canceling the upcoming competition.
With the uncertainty of the current Covid situation and the PHO we decided to err on the side of caution and safety.
The registration for the event has been suspended as of December 27, 2021.. ALL registrations will be refunded in full. The refunds will take some time but they will be done by Karelo and credited to the credit cards used for the registration payments. These refunds should be received before the end of January. If that deadline changes I will send out an update.
Please send this email to all of your club members/parents/coaches as soon as possible. The Competition website for our event will show cancelled so many parents and skaters need to be informed.
Thanks you in advance for your help in getting this important information out to your club.
Regards and Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Janet Gordon
Okanagan Region Chair and Competition Chair and
on behalf of the Okanagan Region Board of Directors
This is another challenge that our skaters will need to process. Please help them work through it and shift gears towards StarSkate assessments and working those new (and exciting) elements that we're all looking forward to.
We will still be running our planned competition simulation on Saturday, January 29, 2022. Please let me know if your skater(s) would like to participate in this so I can get to work on the schedule. It will be another good opportunity to get our programs out in front of spectators.
Thanks. Enjoy the rest of your break.
