Message From ALBERTA DIVISION President

NLOC, Alberta Division COVID-19 Path Forward Update February 2, 2021

As the restrictions change for COVID-19 we at the Alberta Division and Navy League Command staff are monitoring closely the changes and timeframes for returning to face-to-face programming.

The Sea Cadet Program re-opening is under the direction of the Department of National Defence, this information will be sent to the Corps Commanding Officers through the DND channels.

The Alberta Government has prescribed a 4-step plan (link below) outlining the process for organizations like the Navy League to plan an in-person re-engagement.

EXERPT From Alberta Covid Information:

Current - Mandatory restrictions - Provincewide - Effective Feb. 8 (Note: there will be a 3-week timeframe between steps to determine the effectiveness of the step.)

• Children’s sport and performance activities are permitted if related to school activities, such as physical education classes.
• K-12 schools and post-secondary institutions are allowed to use off-site facilities to support curriculum-related educational activities.

Based on the current trends and recommendations we are estimating the potential for modified or complete return to in person training to be in STEP 2 the first week of March. We are working to confirm the Navy League program will fit the STEP 2 re-opening.

Alberta Division is requesting that Branches and Corps start planning for the re-opening while monitoring the current health recommendations and communications from Alberta Division and/or Commander. We will once again communicate next steps on or before 24 February 2021.

Please keep in communication with your branch advisor, informing them of the status of you re-opening plan, barriers and to questions you need answers to.

Be safe.

Sterling Martin
President
