Please see note below regarding an update on organized sport in Zone 1 (Moncton) and Zone 5 (Campbellton) from the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture's Sport and Recreation Branch.
 
As of 12:00am Friday October 23rd, Zone 1 (Moncton) is transitioning back into the yellow phase and are now permitted to resume activity, provided they continue to follow all guidelines from Public Health. 
 
At this time, please be advised that if you reside in Zone 5 (Campbellton) you or your club/training group are not permitted to have organized practices or training sessions in person. As noted below, if you reside in this area you are also not permitted to travel to a 'yellow-phase' zone to participate in organized sport at this time.
 
As we see how things progress in those areas, and throughout the pandemic across the province, we will ensure to keep our membership informed about any changes to these restrictions.
