AG SOCIETY PARK CLOSURE DUE TO CURRENT
COVID-19 CRISIS
The Board of the Cochrane & District Agricultural Society have been wrestling with how exactly to deal with the current health crisis. Several options have been discussed, however yesterday Jason Kenney declared Alberta in a state of public health emergency which states….
“Citizens are also banned from public places like casinos, bingo halls, theatres, children’s play centres, recreation centres and arenas, science centres, museums and art galleries, community centres, fitness facilities, and entertainment facilities like movie theatres.”
The Ag Society Park will therefore be closed to the public effective immediately. We will be postponing the use of the Ag Society Park facilities by all passholders and will be cancelling all bookings until further notice. The March 28 horse show will be postponed. Boarding operations will continue for the time being. We will be reducing staff as well as taking other measures to reduce operating costs during these challenging times. The Cochrane & District Agricultural Society (CDAS) is a not-for-profit organization, and by taking these dramatic measures we are looking to support the long-term sustainment of the society and the Park, while supporting the world-wide efforts to control the spread of this virus.
These are unprecedented times and our team at the Cochrane & District Ag Society will continue to monitor this situation. Our commitment is to strategically and logically work through this crisis as necessary and events unfold.
Any deposits that have been paid for cancelled events will be refunded. Riding passholders will be given an extension to their riding passes equal to the time that we are shut down. We are hopeful, that by following all these recommendations, the crisis will soon pass and operations will resume to normal.
These are not decisions that CDAS takes lightly and we would like to express our deep appreciation for the work our employees have done; the support we have received from our members, user-groups, passholders and sponsors; and the tremendous community support that we have received in order to provide a year-round facility for our community.
The staff and the Directors of CDAS hope that these measures will allow our valued community and all of your families to stay safe and healthy. We will be vigilant in monitoring the situation as it unfolds and will communicate any changes to these restrictions and cancellations immediately.
If you have any questions please direct them to cochraneagsociety@gmail.com.
