Important Notice from AJFWA Board Re: COVID-19

To Our AJFWA Family, 

Our thoughts are with you and with our worldwide community as we all navigate the extraordinary challenges facing us today. Everyone from our National Board, Regional Boards, Club Coordinators and staff empathize with our JFW family trying to cope in these very trying times. 

The AJFWA Board has been monitoring developments with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and is committed to the health and safety of all our Wardens and other members. At the March 18, 2020 Special Board Meeting, the Board decided to take the following actions based on the recommendations from both the Provincial and Federal Governments as well as Alberta Health Services:

Effective immediately and until further notice:

• All in-person JFW programming across Canada is cancelled, including all regular meetings, weekend events, regional events and any camps scheduled to take place. This includes AC Conference, AGM and National Camp.

• The Online Store is closed. Any pending orders will be put on hold or cancelled at the buyer’s discretion. Our Office Administrator will contact anyone with pending orders for instructions.

The AGM will be held by way of electronic meeting at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, April 25, 2020 on a platform to be determined. More information to follow.

AC Conference registrants will receive full refunds by e-Transfer.

The AJFWA Board and staff are working diligently on logistics to manage our organization in these extraordinary times and to be there to support all of our members. We will continue to monitor the situation, and any new information will be sent to you by email and posted on the AJFWA website. 

We apologize for the inconveniences that our decisions may cause you and thank you for your patience and understanding. 

We encourage you to check your local, provincial and federal government websites for more information about how to manage this crisis. 

Please keep posted for some energizing ideas from a JFW perspective on how to keep your outdoor family busy during this time while still practicing social distancing.

If you need any assistance from our Board or our JFW family or have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at office@ajfwa.ca or president@ajfwa.ca.
