News and Events
News about 2022 season
After a difficult 2020-21 season, in which CADS Alberta choose, along with the majority of it's Zone programs , to not run on-snow programs due to the COVID-19 concerns and health restrictions that were in place .
With our 2021-22 registration having started September 1, 2021, we are presently planning to be active with on-snow programming, and our CADS Alberta staff and Board are working closely with our CADS Alberta Zone programs to implement a safe "Return to Snow Program".
Please check our website frequently, as we will provide monthly updates up to November, and more frequent updates as we get closer to the on-snow season.
We want to ensure that our Membership have the information they require, and that our participants and volunteers can look forward to winter activity, and connecting socially with their friends in the CADS Alberta community.
So please go ahead and register for the 2021-22 season!
CADS Alberta Face Masks
As we continue to stay safe and follow Alberta Health COVID-19 guidelines, masks continue to be part of our daily routine. Our membership that received CADS Alberta masks, that have been distributed through Zone programs, have let us know that friends and members have been asking if they can purchase additional masks. So, we are now making available CADS Alberta masks at $12.00 per mask (includes shipping and tax). Masks are available in Adult, Youth Large and Youth Medium sizes (as shown below).
