May 18 Meeting Resolutions

Dear Families,
We regret to inform you that the 2021 Summer Recreation Program will be cancelled this year. The health and well-being of your children is our top priority and has guided our decision-making process. This decision was difficult for us as we have taken great pride in our ability to provide such a great opportunity infused with learning and fun for our community children. Based on CDC guidelines and staffing levels, we identified that group sizes would be severely limited and the types of available programming would be limited in size, scope and location. At this time, we know that we would not be able to offer the quality of program that we have offered the past 24 years.

We understand that this news is difficult for families who depend and rely upon this programing to provide safe summer opportunities while schools are on Summer Break. We want our families to know that while we pause for the 2021 Summer season, we remain committed to creating a new opportunity in 2022 when we anticipate that the COVID spread will be better controlled.

We will miss your children and wish everyone health and wellness during these challenging times.
Sincerely,

Tammy Graham, Recreation Facility Manager
Big Bear Arena

Sault Tribe Law Enforcement (STLE) made the tough decision to cancel the 2021 Junior Police Academy. This decision was not made lightly, but because this is a very interactive and physically active academy and STLE relies on other community agencies to help make it successful, with the continuing COVID-19 health emergency, we feel it is in the best interest of our staff, volunteers and the youth we serve to cancel this year’s event. Sault Tribe Law Enforcement’s top priority is the health and safety of its staff, the kids who attend and the communities we serve.

Sault Tribe Law Enforcement hopes to see everyone in 2022! Stay safe everyone!

Robert Marchand
Chief of Police
