Cancellation of Waterloo Nagano Skate Summer Camp

June 30, 2020

Due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 including gathering restrictions, facilities modifications and physical distancing requirements, OSSA has made the difficult decision to cancel the Nagano Skate Camp scheduled for August 10-14, 2020 at RIM Park in Waterloo. We thank you for your patience while we worked to determine whether it would be safe to proceed with this year’s camp.

OSSA will be issuing refunds via cheque for any payments made towards camp fees to date. Refunds will be sent out by July 30, 2020.

We are happy to announce that Ryan and Sean McAnuff have agreed to continue with our OSSA Virtual Dryland program until the end of August. We look forward to extending the Live Video Dryland sessions throughout the summer and we hope skaters will take advantage of this training! You can submit your interest for the program here: https://forms.gle/26yUUr9hot3PW6Z58. The program is free of charge.

Thank you for your understanding.
