Statement of Cancellations Due to Covid 19.

“The SMA has been closely monitoring the current COVID 19 pandemic and is taking action to protect our members and the general public. We have been in regular contact with the CMA and our fellow provincial and territorial associations to work collaboratively to implement successful prevention and control measures. Social distancing practices are a prudent manner in which to contain the spread of the virus and protect the health of our members. This concern for the health and safety of individuals is paramount. As such, there may be changes and/or cancellations to meetings, courses and events. We will monitor the situation closely and advise our members of these decisions as soon as possible. Those affected by this will be contacted directly.”

Effective immediately, the SMA has made the decision to suspend in-person training.  Until further notice training will be done virtually.
