C-1 Convention postponed to March 5, 2022
October 6, 2021
A special C-1 Cabinet meeting was held on September 29, 2021 to discuss the issues surrounding an in-person convention given the present COVID-19 situation.
After much discussion regarding the status of Covid-19, the Restriction Exemption Program, and monitoring the “proof of vaccination” requirement, the apparent hesitancy of Lions to register for the convention, the public perception of holding an in-person event at this time, and the safety of all Lions; it was determined that the best course of action was to postpone the C-1 Convention.
In a similar discussion the St. Albert Host Lions Club 70th Charter Anniversary Committee reached the same conclusion.
