NorWOSSA Cancels Fall Season
There will be no local high school sports to start the school year.
The Northwestern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association has cancelled all fall sports.
This impacts boys volleyball, girls basketball, football, cross country running and golf.
This is inline with All-Ontario reopening strategies.
A decision on winter and spring sport seasons will come at a later date.
Meantime, the Winnipeg High School Football League has made an announcement on the status of the 2020 season, impacting Dryden, Kenora and Fort Frances.
The statement reads:
“Based upon the approval of Football Manitoba’s Return to Play – Stage 2 – “Stay & Play,” the WHSFL is now in conversations with each school division and their member teams to determine the future of any resemblance of a 2020 season.
We are committed to ensuring the safety of athletes, coaches, support staff, officials and all involved in our game. As communication continues and feedback is received from the divisions, we’ll make future decisions.
Training camps scheduled to open on Monday, Aug. 24th have been postponed indefinitely until future notice.”
