MWPA NEWS UPDATE #2
Update from MWPA Board of Directors
In response to the on-going uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Manitoba Water Polo Association (MWPA) has made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 Provincial Championships. Our Provincial Championships were scheduled over the weekends of April 24-26 and May 9-10 with events scheduled to take place at Pan Am Pool – Winnipeg.
​
As you may have also read, Water Polo Canada made the decision last week to cancel the remaining 2019/2020 NCL. Read more here.
​
Although our office is currently closed, MWPA staff continues to work remotely. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach the MWPA Office at manitobawaterpolo01@gmail.com.
​
Based on the current landscape and Covid-19 limitations, we will also be cancelling our year-end banquet, annual awards and Annual General Meeting. Our goal is to host our Annual General Meeting early Fall 2020.
​
We thank everyone again for your patience, commitment and support during this time.

Stay safe
