COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT Dear MPA Members, In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and with the guidance of the CPU, the CPU Medical Director, and Manitoba Health, we have made the difficult decision to postpone all of our future events. This includes Movement Powerlifting Classic 3.0. A new date will be announced following guidance that we may resume competitions with approval from the CPU and the Manitoba government. Competitors: stay tuned for details from Movement Fitness and Performance owner Cody Dietrich. This also includes both the MPA Bench Press and MPA Powerlifting Provincials. Events scheduled for later in the year may also be postponed – unfortunately at this time it is too far away to say. This is a rapidly evolving situation and given the uncertainty we are all facing, timelines are unpredictable. Please stay tuned for updates – we will do our best to keep you up to date and informed as things are made clear. In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy. We look forward to seeing you when we can resume our events and we’re confident that we will come back stronger than ever! Respectfully, Mathew Bowen MPA President
