Things will be different at community league day this year due to the current situation.  Events have been planned to consider safety of attendees as a top priority, including compliance with health and safety guidelines for social gatherings and physical distancing.
The traditional community league barbecue will not be taking place this year to limit person to person contact.  Current restrictions on outdoor social gatherings is 200 including performers and volunteers, so some events will also have additional measures in place to ensure compliance. 

Each event on community league day is highlighted below, including the safety precautions being taken.

We will require volunteers for this event, so if you are interested in volunteering to help with traffic control or other tasks, please contact communications@greenfieldcommunityleague.com.

Community League Day Agenda:
 
1:00 - Local Vendor Trade Show

(tickets required)

Event #1: Local Vendor Trade ShowAre you a local business owner?
Or someone who wants to support a local business?

We recognize that it is more important than ever to support local, and we would like to help connect community members with locally run businesses!
On community league day, we invite local businesses or services to share information about their offering.  This will be simply an opportunity for vendors to showcase their business and share details without completing transactions or making sales.
 
If you are a local business who is interested in setting up a table, please contact memberships@greenfieldcommunityleague.com.
Safety Measures:

• Event will take place within the hockey rink to control traffic and ensure safe distancing
• Traffic will flow in only one direction
• Participating vendors will be required to use contactless methods to provide information (e.g. display a poster with contact information that people can photograph as opposed to using business cards)
• Vendors will be required to bring their own tables to limit contact
• The number of people inside the arena at one time will be restricted
• Spaces for vendors will ensure appropriate distancing measures
