First:
The office is closed to walk-in traffic.
Until further notice, our business office at 5405 99 Street is closed to members. We will continue to process memberships and send out cards via Canada Post. Payments can be processed over the phone at 780-467-0085. Memberships and guest passes can be purchased via the website at
spfga.ca.
Second:
The clubhouse is closed to bookings.
Many of the closures invoked by the state of emergency today are indoor venues, where people are able to gather in numbers and rules of social distancing is difficult to observe. As the clubhouse is typically booked by groups, we will echo these closures. March clubhouse bookings will be cancelled, and no further bookings will be made until further notice.
Third:
The April 18 Awards Banquet will likely not proceed.
We're still working out the details, but the Awards Banquet will almost certainly be cancelled. As an event with seniors attending, as well as potentially members with complex health issues or who are critical infrastructure workers, this event would exceed the 50 attendee maximum and as such cannot proceed. We're unclear at this point whether this will be a cancellation or rebooking later into the year, but we will keep you updated with the details.
Fourth:
The Board will not be meeting in person.
The Sherwood Park & District Chamber of Commerce has cancelled all bookings of their meeting rooms until mid May. As these are the meeting spaces for the SPFGA Board, we will be exploring online virtual meeting options to ensure club business still proceeds.
