A special THANK YOU to our Convention Committee, and to our dance leaders, who have spent many hours in preparation for our convention, only to see it cancelled, once again. 
​We hope that we may all remain safe and healthy, so that we may dance together again one day.
- Eileen & Gary Smith, Convention Chair-couple, August 29, 2021

We have over 200 registrants, including the following dance leaders:

​ The Alberta 'Open for Summer' plan, with all COVID restrictions lifted, is here.  But we are mindful of COVID, and we want to make sure that all attendees will be safe.  We will comply with all applicable health regulations.  We could still be cancelled by AB Health or the City of Edmonton, if case numbers were to become a concern.  There is also the possibility that other measures could be imposed, such as vaccination requirements, or masking. ​
  Regardless of requirements, our convention will be a 'mask-friendly' event!  We recommend that  you wear a mask, to protect yourself and those around you.  We will be requiring all participants to sign a liability waiver.  
​
To protect yourself and others, we recommend that all participants have two vaccinations.  
required waiver
We will always comply with Canadian Federal,
​Alberta Provincial, and City of Edmonton health regulations.

We would like to welcome our American and International friends, but at the present time (July 9, 2021) the Canadian border is still closed for non-essential travel.  There is discussion in the media, and some pressure by various organizations, for the Canadian Government to open the border to those people who have been fully vaccinated.
