CADS Alberta Zone Recommendations
The CADS COVID policy is being recommended for all CADS Alberta Zone programs to the end of the 2021-22 season. We recognize the changes that have come into place through provincial recommendation, but felt that staying the course with our policy to end of season ensures an optimal safety consideration for our members.
Following the season, CADS Alberta will continue to work with our Zones in next steps preparation leading to the 2022-23 season.
Thank you.
