This event is open to any and everyone, all that is required is a device. This event will be a plethora of fun regardless of whether you have any experience or knowledge on boccia.

Hi everyone,
 
As many of you may be aware the Winnipeg region is slated to move to code red on the Pandemic Response System at midnight November 2nd which includes the closure of arenas and pausing of all sport and recreation programming.
The Iceplex will close effective today October 30, 2020 at 5:00pm and will reopen when safe to do so.  
We will be suspending the Sledge Hockey season for now; and we hope following this suspension we will be able to get back to the game we all love soon enough.
 
Take care, stay safe and well.
We hope to see you all again soon, please reach out if you need anything.

Hello we are inviting parents and guardians of children and youth with disabilities to participate in a new survey about access to, and the quality of disability services for children and youth up until the age of 21.  
 
Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) want to know the issues, barriers, and challenges facing your child and family. The survey questions ask about your child's demographics and disability-related needs, services received, respite, care coordination, daycare/school-experience, and specialized living situations. There are also questions about services during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
 
Please take the time and use your voice here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FMVCTZ2
They will use the information you submit to make a report and recommend changes to improve disability services for children, youth, and young adults in Manitoba.
