Programs affected by this postponement include: Coed Adult Indoor Soccer League, Coed Adult Indoor Volleyball League, Hot Shots Basketball, and the new Baked Cooking Classes. Outdoor programs (Adult hockey, Curling League and lessons) will continue at this time, however, we ask that you do not participate if you are symptomatic or have been exposed to someone COVID-19 positive in your family or household. Parks and Recreation will monitor the current situation and respond accordingly. We look forward to seeing you all soon!
