 Important information for 18+ players and those who live outside of Peel Region, but MRA is their home and closest association.

 Ringette Ontario requires that players register with their local association.  This is to prevent the risk of transmitting COVID-19 between Public Health Units.  It also ensures that players and associations are prepared in case the local public health units place restrictions on players who live outside the health unit.   There is a concern that if a region must move back a stage due to an outbreak that amateur sports, and ringette in particular, may be perceived as part of the reason for the transmission.

 If you reside outside Peel Region, there is a possibility that If the region where you live is moved back a stage, (ie it is at a lower stage of recovery than Peel Region), there is the potential that Peel Health may not allow you to play ringette in Peel Region.  This is a risk that you assume by registering for a program within the MRA.  If you are prevented from attending a program for this reason, you may be considered for a refund under item 4 above.

If the situation arises where Peel Region is moved back a stage (i.e. the region where you live is at a higher stage of recovery than Peel Region), attending events in Peel Region may increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.  If you chose to attend events in Peel region, it would be at your own risk.  You would assume all responsibility for your health.    If you choose not to attend the program because of an outbreak in Peel, you may be considered for a refund under item 4 above.
