2020-2021 Registration

EFRA 2020/21 REGISTRATION INFORMATION

The safety of our members is our top priority and our programs must comply with requirements of Ringette Ontario as well as Public Health Ontario and our facilities partners. Programming is subject to change at any time if federal, provincial, and municipal requirements change due to increased risk associated with the spread of COVID-19.

CURRENT OPERATING STATUS:

• EFRA is operating under Stage 3 of Ringette Ontario’s Return to Play Guidelines which allows for modified play within our own association.

  • For more information on Ringette Ontario Return to Play guidelines including stages of play click here: https://ringetteontario.com/rtr-covid19/return-ringette-guidelines/

•  EFRA operates in the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) Public Health Unit.

  • Effective Monday, November 23, WDG Public Health continues under the Province of Ontario's ORANGE (Restrict) level as outlined in COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open.

We had hoped to operate under Stage 3 - Modified Play with the Guelph Ringette Association (GRA) starting in January. Unfortunately, with WDG public health unity currently under Orange - Restrict and our surrounding public health units in Red, both associations will proceed with hosting independent programming from January to March.
