WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE LSC?
Friday, November 13th - ALL GROUP PROGRAMMING CANCELLED FOR TWO WEEKS
Yesterday afternoon, Premier Kenney announced a two week pause on group fitness, sports and social activities from November 13 – 27th inclusive for many areas of the province, including Lethbridge.
This morning we received confirmation from Skate Canada: Alberta-NWT/Nunavut Section that this includes all group programming. Effective immediately, all CanSkate, Group format STARSkate (STAR 1-2), CanPowerSkate, Parent and Tot, and all Synchronized skating sessions including skill sessions, are cancelled for this duration. We anticipate sessions resuming on November 28th.
We have also received confirmation from the Section that Private STARSkate lessons may continue, however the City of Lethbridge has placed additional capacity restrictions on all ice, which will have a great impact on our STARSkate sessions. We appreciate your patience while we work out the best plan for the remaining sessions over the next 2 weeks.
These actions are to assist the province in slowing down the increase of COVID-19 cases in Alberta. We, as an organization support this effort and we appreciate your support and cooperation as well.
Some sessions had space built in the schedule for potential 'make-up' days in December, so those will be utilized. For sessions without the opportunity for make up days, the board will work on a plan to issue pro-rated credits to the affected skaters. We thank you for you patience, as this will take some time to work out. You will receive an email specific to your program/session to let you know about make-up days and/or refunds.
