Dear Member,
Premier Rankin and Dr. Strang announced today that there is a province-wide two-week shut down, effective tomorrow, Wednesday, April 28th at 8:00 a.m. (except where already in place).
PLEASE MAKE ALL NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS TO
CANCEL PROGRAMS AND LESSONS IMMEDIATELY
ESSENTIAL EQUINE EXERCISE AND CARE ONLY
OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL RIDING/DRIVING IS PERMITTED
(non-structured and non-organized only) Guidelines are found here
To be clear, the communication sent to you is based on the Government of Nova Scotia Sport Sector Guidelines and Restrictions. This means that we advise you based on what is determined as sport restrictions.
Riding establishments who choose to offer programs and services will do so under their own accord and risk of liability. Use of the Nova Scotia Government Sport Guidelines as proof of compliance is not permitted.
Nova Scotia Equestrian Federation staff or board members will not be available to advise those establishments who offer programs and services during this two-week province-wide shutdown. It is our position that ALL organized equestrian activity is cancelled - bottom line!
We understand and can appreciate the stressful time this is for you. This is not the time to risk spread or exposure. Thank you in advance for doing your part.
Please stay safe.
Val McDermott,
President
Nova Scotia Equestrian Federation
