Notice to All Associations and Teams:
We encourage all Associations (not individual teams) to submit their Return to Play protocols for approval so we can get those in place. Your association’s plan must meet the minimum standard of the P.W.S.A. Return to Play document. These will be submitted for approval prior to 3rd party insurance or PSO approval. Please send your plan to info@pwsaontario.com
If you do not have a plan or simply wish to adopt P.W.S.A.’s plan, please simply send a letter on your Association letterhead stating “We ______________will be following the P.W.S.A. Return to Play protocols found at Strategic-Plan-for-Return-to-Play-PWSA-v-19-10.18.21.pdf signed by your President.
The updated Mandatory Return to Play protocols document will remain in place until further notice.
We will need to adjust the Covid framework on a continuous basis as Covid infection rates in each community across the Province remain fluid.
