Please find attached the directive in <PDF format> with this e-mail. The directive also mentions that the date may change in the future and the City of Ottawa will inform us on an ongoing basis.

If the the date of June 30th were to hold these would be the following impacts:
We as a club are hopeful that the June date may change but we all need to be vigilante to defeat this terrible disease and as a club we will follow the guidance of the City of Ottawa.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
