Governor Pritzker announced Tier 3 mitigations this afternoon. This means all indoor group sports and recreational activities including those at the Rec Center and Ice Valley Centre Ice Arena will be suspended as of 12:01 am, Friday, November 20, 2020. We will not be able to proceed with any rentals of our buildings at this time.
