It has come to our attention that there is a little confusion over Meetings & Conventions at Zone level and the present Provincial government protocols which are in place. As Zone Conventions would normally be taking place in the near future, I would like to remind you that under current guidelines it is not possible to hold a Zone Convention and remain within the Provincial guidelines. The full number of Branch delegates, plus Zone Council members, plus any guests that would attend, would I believe in all instances, be over the maximum number of 50 for indoor gatherings. (Restricting numbers, or making the Convention by invitation only, makes this un-democratic and will leave us open to criticism).

It must be kept in mind that the Legion does not possess the authority to allow Branches, Zones, Districts or Commands the authority to circumvent or disregard the rules placed upon citizens of our great Province by any level of our government. As we all know, these protocols are in place to keep us safe from COVID-19.
Thank you Comrades and stay safe!
