RE: Regional. Adult

Christian Daniel of Edmonton, Alberta Canada asks...

Will there be any provincial upgrade applications this year? If so, when should we be applying and how?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Christian
Like most of the world the impact of Covid 19 restrictions has delayed many programs. All of our programs In Ireland have been moved online so anything that need referees to physically attend such as fitness, etc have been suspended until restrictions are fully lifted,
I note from the Ontario Referee site that due to the impact of Covid-19 the upgrading programs are being delayed until further notice. I suspect it is country wide.
We have reached out to Alberta Referees yet no reply as yet.
