Games cancelled by the match officials due to thunder will not be added to the end of the season.

Extreme weather announcements issued by Meteorological Services, Environment Canada (e.g. involving tornado watches and warnings) are increasing in frequency. Parents and adult care providers are advised to monitor these alerts and take appropriate action for the safety and well-being of their family. Travel to playing fields should be avoided until the alerts and warnings are lifted. Decisions about whether games will be played will depend on when alerts are lifted.

What happens during extreme heat conditions?

Games will carry on despite the heat. Players will be provided with additional water breaks and we recommend you bring extra water to the field for your player. It is always up to the individual family to decide whether or not to participate during hot weather.
