School tournaments can soon resume!

The Ministry of Education has announced extracurricular school sports tournaments can resume as of February 8.

An update was provided to school districts on February 4 that will allow team-based tournaments to resume, assuming all school-based health and safety guidelines are in place at all tournament venues.

Please read the Provincial COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings: Sports Tournaments for a summary of how current prevention measures should be implemented when planning tournaments.

At this time for indoor tournaments, external spectators (those not directly involved with running the tournament) will not be allowed.
