The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) Executive is sharing information with the public about changes that will have an effect on ringette activities here in Stittsville and area.
Ringette Ontario has suspended all sanctioned ringette activities until August 1st. This date is based on the assumption of the re-opening of facilities by then but will be reconsidered at that time. This includes, but is not limited to — any on or off ice activity including tryouts, meetings, and social events. Even if the arenas open prior to August 1st, Associations will not have insurance coverage so cannot book any ice prior to that date.
What does this mean for WORA?
AGM: Postponed until further notice.
Year end banquets: Have been cancelled and any ticket purchases will be refunded to the families.
Tryouts: Will be held after August 1. Exact timing and logistics will be determined closer to that date.
Equipment/Jersey Return: We cannot accept jerseys and equipment until after August 1.
The above information is based on what WORA is aware of currently. Obviously considerable uncertainty will remain for some time and further changes could take place.
Please feel free to reach out to WORA at executive@westottawaringette.
WORA wishes all ringette families and fans continued health and safety and look forward to seeing everyone at the rink as soon as the situation permits!
