Power Plus Update: March 17, 2022

Power Plus, like all other organizations, has been adversely affected by the Covid 19 pandemic, suffering a drop-off in membership of over 50%; and if not for the Federal Government rental subsidy program, would probably had to close our doors. Now that we have been able to return to something close to normal operations, we find it necessary to re-establish previous levels of membership in order to continue to operate. We will be offering a series of complimentary introductory clinics to individuals wishing to give Olympic weightlifting a test run. Our plan would be to present separate clinics to the following groups as soon as we receive sufficient interest to proceed:
1. Youth females (under 16)
2. Youth males (under 16)
3. Junior males and females (under 21)
4. Senior males and females (21 and over)
5. Masters males and females (30 and over)
The sessions would last approximately two hours, on either an evening or a Saturday morning and would be scheduled as soon as interest dictates. If you or someone you know might be interested in attending one of these clinics, simply contact Larry Mather by phone at 780-922-3856, or email lmmather @icloud.com to register.
