WE ARE BACK!
Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) is excited to welcome you back for the 2021-2022 Season
‘Covid Season 2’ is going to be action packed! VISAS is back to seven day per week programming and will offer a full season of lessons forecast to start Monday December 20th going through Saturday March 26th. We can work this season with any student who is in compliance with the CADS Vaccination Policy. Your Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports Board of Directors is working hard behind the scenes to prepare for the season. Registrations for Students will open the first week of November. Returning Students will have received an email, New Students will be able to create a profile by clicking on the BOOK NOW button.
Rules have been relaxed to allow close contact training within the 2-meter bubble this season, allowing a full program and Instructors to give you a helping hand when needed. Please note that all participants in a VISAS Program, aged 12 and over will have to show proof, in your profile, of double Covid -19 vaccination with a Vaccine Passport, uploading the QR code to the Forms and Agreements section, under” Vaccination Proof”.
*UPDATE* December 20, 2021
We are looking forward to seeing you this season.
Thank you so much for your continued commitment to VISAS, both as students, instructors, and all those other people that help us make the Mountains Accessible to All!
