The CWA Board wishes to thank all of the members who were able to join in on the recent virtual AGM.  To key motions were put forward and passed by those attending.  The first involved permitting the current board to continue its governance until such time that an in-person nomination and election process can be conducted in 2021.  The second motion involved a presentation and review of the financial position of the CWA by Treasurer, Pat Shaw.  After a few questions were answered, a motion to accept the budget and financial statements was passed.  The CWA hopes to keep you up to date on current issues and when the facility will be re-opened.  Stay safe and stay connected!

 With the CWA facility now closed for the near future, two activities continue virtually.  The first enjoyable activity is Julie's Virtual Fitness class.  The second is Virtual Coffee, hosted by Todd McBride.  If you are interested in participating in either or both activities, please contact Clare Elsbett via email at chestermerewhitecappers.ca.  Clare will provide you with the Zoom meeting days, codes and passwords as required to join.

With Covid-19 a reality for several months and likely to continue to be so, the Chestermere Whitecappers Association facility schedule has changed to permit specific activities, following AHS health guidelines, to continue.  Specifically, Coffee & Social, Chair Yoga, Line Dancing, Quilters Club, Artisans of Chestermere and Fitness with Julie classes are at new times and days in some cases.  Please ensure that you as a member, follow the required procedures to be safe in the building and in your activity.  If you have concerns, please bring them to the attention of your activity leader who will then contact the board.  The new schedule can be found on this website!

With Premier Kenney moving Alberta to a province wide state of emergency for health, the Chestermere Whitecappers Association Centre will be closed effectively from November 25th to at least December 11th.  All programs including art, quilting, and coffee socials are impacted by this action.  It is hoped that numbers will drop in the province enough in three weeks to re-open.  More information regarding the AGM originally scheduled for December 4th will become available later this week.  A special thank you to all activity leaders and CWA members who practiced AHS standards over the past month.  The month was indeed successful and the Board looks forward to reopening.
