2020 Nova Scotia Championships

2020-11-19

Due to the recent increase in cases of COVID-19 in the HRM and increasing exposures, the NSWA made the difficult decision this evening to cancel our Provincial Championships on Saturday.

The NSWA values, above all else, its community of athletes and volunteers, all of whom work hard to make this sport a reality in our province, and we do not want to create any unnecessary risks to members of that community or their friends and relatives.

The Board of the NSWA would like to specifically recognize all of the athletes who were excited to get back out on the platform after a long period of no competitions. We know and share your disappointment in this news. We will continue working to get you back on a platform as soon as conditions allow.

We will be processing refunds for this cancellation next week. We appreciate you patience while we sort them out.
