To our Membership,

On behalf of everyone in the Brampton Minor Lacrosse Association, I would like to thank you for your patience as we navigated through some unusual times and for taking the steps to stay safe during this pandemic.

On June 12, 2020 we received official notice from our governing body, The Ontario Lacrosse Association that the box season was in fact cancelled due to COVID-19 and the inability to offer a program. The OLA work on various options with the hope we may be able to offer a modified program for the membership to participate in this great game but as the time continued with little to no improvement in our communities the decision was made to end the 2020 season.

We will now begin the task of issuing full refunds to our membership via the credit card the payment was processed on for each registration. This task will take some time and we ask that you allow us 2 weeks for the refund to be processed and in turn your credit card company to post the credit back to your account. If you do not have the refund by June 30th please reach out to me directly to follow up on it.

This costs associated with preparing for the season, administrative costs and registration costs are going to be absorbed by the Brampton Minor Lacrosse Association in the range of $10,000 plus but as an Executive we believe that in an uncertain financial time that it was paramount to not share the burden with our families.

We hope to see everyone for the 2021 season and we have begun planning and a return to play module so we can come back safe and stronger than before

Yours sincerely,
Chris Lowe
President
Brampton Minor Lacrosse Association
