2020/21 Season | Policies & Return-to-Play Guidelines

July 29th

2020/21 Registration Info

It's been a while since we've been in touch with you. We have been working hard to get ready for the upcoming 2020/21 curling season - and there's still lots more to do. BUT! We finally have some information to share with you!

Registration

Registration for the 2020/21 curling season will open on August 31, 2020 at 10am. We are working to get our members uploaded to the website (an email will be sent for you to create a password should this be ready) for online registration. If not, registration forms for download will be posted on our website.

Season Start

We are planning to reopen for league-play in early October.
We are hopeful to have our annual WCT event to kick-off the season.

Policies and Return-to-Play

Things will look different for this season with regards to how we play the wonderful sport of curling, and how we interact with each other and the facility.

We are working very hard on creating our Policies with guidance from Curling Canada's and Curling Alberta's Return-to-Play Guidelines. These will be released by our registration date. In the meantime, you can view Curling Canada's document here.

We have created a COVID-19 Response FAQ document to give you a better understanding of what to expect before we release our policies. CLICK HERE (PDF)

Survey Results

We had a tremendous response from our Planning for Reopening and Membership survey. Thank you for letting us know how we can make you feel safe this upcoming season, as well as sharing with us your experience at the Avonair. We have read each and every response and will do our part to continue making the Avonair an exceptional curling club for everyone!

We are happy to release the results. Most members are ready to come back to curling with reasonable policies, protocols, and restrictions in place. CLICK HERE (PDF)

🔰 We hope everyone is remaining happy and healthy. Please continue to take precautions as you go out because you are important to us, and we really want to see you soon!

AVONAIR UPDATE ON COVID-19 (2)

2019/20 SEASON ENDS EFFECTIVELY IMMEDIATELY

The Avonair Curling Club Board of Directors has decided to end the 2019/20 season effective immediately. All scheduled leagues, club championships, and events are cancelled, with the exception of the Canada Deaf Games in May being put under review. The plant will shut down and soon the ice will melt.

We understand that this situation is nowhere near ideal, however we believe that this is the best decision given the recommendations put out by Alberta Health, Curling Alberta, the City of Edmonton, and chatting with fellow Edmonton clubs. Although the closing, suspension, or cancellation of most activities including rec centers, schools, sports and other activities can leave us feeling lonely or sad, please know that these are all precautionary measures to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. Please reach out to friends, family, or seek services offered by your community to help move through this difficult time.

We would like to thank all of our members for an amazing season of great curling and camaraderie! We've had so much fun over the last 6 months. You make the club everything that it is. Thank you for being amazing supporters of YOUR club by selling raffle tickets. With that, we can continue to have and enjoy perfect ice conditions as well as continuing to fix and update our club.

Thank you to A Cappella Catering / Curbside for stepping up to the challenge of running our concession and providing all banquets. We've enjoyed having you with us this season and look forward the future. By the way, thanks for the great meals!

And last but not least, thank you to all of our 2019/20 sponsors. Your in-ice advertising helps us to fix and update the club while also providing opportunities for new and current curlers. The ice looks really cool too with your brand and identity frozen in for the season. There are also those who donated prizes such as gift cards and swag for us to give out at Christmas and Year-end dinners. Thank you to Living Sounds Hearing Centre, Lexus of Edmonton, Parallel 49 Brewing Company, Wild Rose Brewery, Original 16, Boston Pizza - Kingsway, Amptec Fire & Security, Sanitec Distributing, Zocalo, Kingsway Mall, Sobeys Liquor Kingsway, and COBS Bread.

The 2020/21 season is going to be wild as it's our 50th Anniversary in this 70+ year old building. Let's party starting in October!

Please enjoy your spring and summer off. Let's sit back and crack open a cold one! Stay up to date over the off-season on our social media, website, and through periodic emails.

Take care,
