Triathlon Alberta Suspends All Programs, Clinics, & Camps until May 31, 2020

Edmonton, Alberta – Triathlon Alberta would like to thank the triathlon and multisport community for their ongoing patience and corporation during this turbulent time. This is a difficult time for everyone, and the world of sport is taking decisive measures to be proactive in limiting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Triathlon Alberta has made the difficult decision to suspend all Triathlon Alberta programs, clinics & camps until May 31, 2020. Hence, the following programs, clinics & camps are cancelled:

-      May 2 Alberta Summer Games Zones 1-4 Camp – Calgary

-      May 8-10 Provincial Program Development and Performance Camp – Drayton Valley

-      May 23-24 Triathlon Adult Community Coaching Course – Calgary

-      May 23 Alberta Summer Games Zones 5-8 Camp – Lac La Biche

Participants will be contacted shortly and refunds, less processing fees where applicable, will be issued as soon as possible.

As the situation is changing rapidly in Canada and around the globe, we felt it was most prudent to ensure we as a sport are doing our part to protect our communities and fellow vulnerable citizens during this unprecedented time.

This suspension may be extended upon review of the global and national situation in the coming weeks. The decision has been made in keeping with the current federal and provincial recommendations around mass participation events and large public gatherings.

In regard to club activities, Triathlon Alberta clubs and club members need to defer to their local municipalities and facilities and the recommendation laid out by them, as well as to use their best judgement for the safety of their families and club members.

In regard to travel outside of Canada, we ask that everyone follow any provincial and federal recommendations.

We will continue to provide regular updates in the coming days and weeks, as they become available and as the situation changes.
