The SJTC board gave careful consideration and has decided that it is best to wait until we revert to the yellow phase before resuming practices. When we resume, we will implement the Revised plan breaking our practices into the two blocks, so please stay tuned for that. The club will be looking to add practices into the season to make up for lost ones. If the season is completely disrupted, we will look at options to have the fees advanced to our summer season as a credit o...r reimbursement. Stay Safe, and we hope to see you soon.

Dear members, Due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak in the Saint John Region and our move to the Orange Level, we have decided to cancel practices in the coming week for the following days. - Monday - Nov 23- Wednesday - Nov 25- Saturday - Nov 28 We feel this is the best thing for the safety of all and to support efforts to stem the outbreak in our region. ... We will take this on a week to week basis and advise as plans evolve or if this to be extended. We will also be updating our Covid-19 operational plan and making some changes for when we return. We will advise on that over the next week once completed and approved by Athletics NB and the Field House. All the best, and please be safe. SJTC

Oct 14 - Practice tonight will be held at the Field House for all groups.

Dear SJTC Members, There continue to be new cases of Covid-19 in our region, and we all likely know some people having to self isolate. The club wants to be responsible and not contribute to any further spread. Therefore we have decided to cancel practices for another week. Practices on Nov 30, Dec 2, Dec 5 and the meet on Dec 5th have been cancelled. ... With luck, we will start again after next week and be back in touch before that about timing and any new operating requirements. We hope to add additional sessions later in the season to replace some of those missed. If we end up in an extended period of cancellation, we will communicate about any possible refunds or alternatives. Thank you for your understanding. Please stay safe and please follow the public health rules. Sincerely, SJTC

Dear SJTC Members, We hope you are all doing well during this challenging time. As you are likely aware, the province has indicated that some sports can start training again. Unfortunately, at the present time, we do not have access to the track as UNBSJ is closed to the public. ... The club board of directors will be meeting on Monday, June 15th, to discuss options for restarting training and possible other facility options. We will be reporting back following that meeting.
