CUP Evacuation

Hi Dolphins,

As most of you know, the CUP was evacuated this morning. We are waiting to hear if the issue has been resolved and if the building has been deemed safe. I have not heard from anyone yet and the City does not have any details as of 11:00 am today. I will post later if practices will go ahead after school. Thanks for your patience,

Tanya
