COVID UPDATE - MAY 20th 2021
As per the current restrictions in place across the province, Pictou County Gymnastics will remain closed for all classes and activities until further notice.
Update for Term 4 Members:
With an extension to the current lockdown in place, we are very sad to announce that we will not be able to continue our Term 4 classes when we reopen.
All members that have paid registration for term 4 classes will be given a credit for the 8 weeks missed. This credit will be available to use towards any summer programs and/or September program registration fees.
As a non-for-profit organization, the continued support and cooporation shown from our membership during these challenging times has kept us going. We can not say thank you enough.
Stay safe and we will see you soon!
Please note that the GNS insurance fee is not uncluded in the amount credited. This credit will expire after the September term registration.
