This message caught us off guard as we were in the midst of prepping all our shelters. We have no alternative than to abide by the rules so we will be putting up the appropriate closure signs when we get them.
Our Shelter Director Tyler Mullins Message
- Covid and how it will affect our shelters:
The federation announced today that we will need to close our shelters for the duration of covid regulations.
We will be posting signs given to us by the federation on each of our shelters announcing official closure of shelters, but the doors will remain unlocked to avoid damage to our buildings and a warm, safe place to land if anyone runs into issues while out enjoying our beautiful trails.
We will be ensuring that we have adequate wood for the winter at all shelters in our system in case of emergency or (optimistically) the covid regulations get lifted.
On that note, we will be looking for assistance and volunteers to help split and pile another big load of wood donated to us by fornebu lumber and delivered by jean marc cormier.
Stay positive and stay safe, people. We will be out enjoying our sleds sooner then later! Tyler Mullin
