2021 Quebec World Congress

Sent to: All Skål International Members.

Dear fellow Skålleagues,

One of the COVID constants we have experienced over the last year is news regarding event postponements. As I mentioned in my previous correspondence with respect to the 2021 Congress, we do see positives emerging from the despair associated with the Coronavirus.

Countries are beginning to consider recovery strategies and at our March Executive Board meeting, we considered additional options regarding the 2021 Quebec World Congress.

I am happy to announce that, after further discussion with the Skål International Quebec Congress LOC, the Executive Board has agreed to postpone the Congress from the original October dates to December 9 – 13, 2021.

We believe this decision has many positives, including:

The opportunity to showcase Quebec City during one of their two best seasons – December through February.
Skålleagues will be able to experience a host of ‘cool’ activities.
Allow more time for vaccinations to be administered, Coronavirus cases to subside and restrictions to be lessened, and
More time for international visitors to apply for entry visas for those needing them.

I recently returned from a visit to Quebec City where I met with club executive. I can report that they are excited with the opportunity to show off their beautiful city when the lights, snow and winter activities are at their peak.

The Congress LOC is also working hard to leverage their government contacts, ensuring as much support for this important event as possible.

The dates chosen will ensure an amazing experience and participants will have plenty of time to be home for Christmas.

Thank you for your support, I am very much looking forward to meeting you in the winter wonderland of Quebec City.

Kind Regards,

Bill Rheaume

President
