Alberta Official’s Update
The official’s update for Alberta will be presented on November 6, 2021 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This course is open to officials of all levels. In order to maintain your official accreditation, you must attend an update once every two years or take the next level course during that same 2 year time period. This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge with less experienced officials or learn from the experience of some of the more seasoned officials. We will be doing some case studies, short answer questions and there will be a presentation on the new rules for the 2021-2022 ski racing season. As always, there will be one or two timing calculations and penalty calculations in order to get everyone re-familiarized with these processes. I know that everyone enjoys the timing calculations as much as Dave Bartle and I do.
In order to sign up for this course, please go to alpinepoints.ca and register through your officials account. If you don’t have an account yet, please create one and then register. All training of officials is now being tracked through alpinepoints.ca in order to maintain a National database of officials. If you haven’t done so already, you can also make a legacy request to have your previous officials certification entered into the database. Information on how to create an account and make a legacy request has been sent out to the clubs. If you need some assistance, first try through the Alpine Chair at your club or have them contact myself and I will re-send them the information. The Zoom link for this meeting will be sent out based on the list of registrants on Alpinepoints.ca.
I hope to see lots of people attending on November 6.

Covid19 Protocols for the 2021/22 Season
To: AASA Membership
Re: Covid19 Protocols for the 2021/22 Season
Dear Members,
Alberta Alpine has been working on a Covid19 protocol for this season. We have been in contact with clubs Program Directors to get a sense of what each club has in place. Alberta Alpine wants to make sure that what protocols are adopted allows all athletes in the province to train and race all season long in a safe manner. That coaches, staff, volunteers, and parents feel safe when at races.
With the Alberta Government and AHS announcing the Restrictions Exemption Program on Sept 15th, this has given a new direction from AHS. Alberta Alpine will review this new information, consulate with the professional and once we have gone through all the information, we will send out a Covid19 race protocol.
Right now, vaccines are the best method to protect oneself from the Covid19, please follow all provincial restrictions that AHS has in place.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Best regards,
Patrick Gillespie
President of Alberta Alpine Ski Association

Cancellation of the 2022 Alberta Winter Games
To: AASA Membership
Re: Cancellation of the 2022 Alberta Winter Games
Dear Members,
I regret to inform you that the 2022 Alberta Winter Games will not be proceeding. The Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Branch of Culture and Status of Women was in discussions with a potential host community prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, they were unable to reach a formal agreement with a host community prior to the pandemic disruption.
Given the time required to prepare for an Alberta Winter Games, the prolonged effect of COVID-19, and the number of sport events that have been cancelled or postponed, the decision was made to return to Alberta Winter Games planning when appropriate in the future. I want to assure you that the cancellation is not an indication that the Alberta Winter or Summer Games are not continuing in the future. This decision was not budget related.
If you have any question, please give me a call.
Best regards,
Patrick Gillespie
President of Alberta Alpine Ski Association
