Cancellation of Waterloo Nagano Skate Camp
|
|
|
Due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 including gathering restrictions, facilities modifications and physical distancing requirements, OSSA has made the difficult decision to cancel the Nagano Skate Camp scheduled for August 10-14, 2020 at RIM Park in Waterloo. We thank you for your patience while we worked to determine whether it would be safe to proceed with this year’s camp.
OSSA will be issuing refunds via cheque for any payments made towards camp fees to date. Refunds will be sent out by July 30, 2020.
Thank you for your understanding.
