All families registered for Jackrabbits this season will receive an email that the jackrabbits initial session will be cancelled tomorrow. Due to the rising numbers of COVID, we are postponing our session kick off until January 15, 2022.

Due to the ongoing pandemic and safety concerns related to large gatherings in our community, the 2022 Sturgeon Heights Community Centre Winter Carnival and Tim Vandale Memorial Hockey Tournament slated to take place this February has been postponed to 2023.

This year the Sturgeon Heights Community Centre is open to select community programs and events where you will find many COVID-19 safety measures in place at such as mandatory masks, COVID-19 immunization verification policies, and limited gathering sizes. The facility is sanitized in between programs and separate washrooms and entrances when there are multiple events for everyone’s safety.

Come join us next year from February 13 to 19, 2023 where our Winter Carnival will be bigger and better than ever!
