COVID-19 APRIL UPDATE

As a not-for-profit organisation committed to enriching the community, the safety of Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds patrons, members, event organisers and staff are always of utmost importance to everything Canning Agricultural, Horticultural & Recreational Society (CAHRS) does.

As such, in response to the quickly evolving COVID-19 situation and eventuating uncertainties, it was with a heavy heart that a few weeks back we had to temporarily postpone all events until the end of April. With the continuing escalation of COVID-19 infections and safety protocols, this was then extended til further notice.

We have been and will continue to closely monitor the situation, only making fully informed decisions on reopening when we have greater confidence in the safety of our stakeholders – from the public to our hirers, coordinators, clubs, societies and events.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but please be assured that our staff are still working, planning how to return in ways that will provide much-needed relief, enjoyment and services to lift the community at a time when we will need it more than ever. With the COVID-19 situation hopefully under control by November, these plans include a huge Canning Show, celebrating the community in new ways.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR…

EVENT ORGANISERS

CAHRS has been working with all upcoming events in the next few months to reschedule events in the next 12 months. Please inform your stakeholders, including cancelling events on social media. Any payment towards your booking will be rolled over to your rescheduled booking. Contact Afra on 0401 453 285 ASAP to discuss, if you haven’t already been contacted and are unsure.

EVENT ATTENDEES

Look out for rescheduled dates in the future. Any questions, please contact the event organisers directly (via Facebook).

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

We will be processing EFT refunds for your remaining, cancelled classes. If these haven’t already been processed, please email your bank details to enquiries@cahrs.com.au so we can refund you ASAP, or call on 0432 447 398 to discuss.

THANKS

This is a troubling time for many. Our organisation is made up of 100s of wonderful volunteers, members, friends and family, who put their heart and soul into giving back and inspiring others. We wish them all the happiness and health we can during these challenging periods, as well as everyone all around the globe. Now, more than ever, we all need to band together and look after, respect and help each other as best we can. Our very best to all, and we look forward to opening the doors to the public again as soon as safely possible!
