Mel Sigglekow, Executive Director of Rising Above, has shared the unfortunate news that the Rising Above Hope Lives will not be taking place on March 28th.

This is in response to the provincial government recommending the cancellation of all events of more than 250 people.

The Rising Above staff are very disappointed at the cancellation, especially because it was almost full, with 592 tickets sold.

While the banquet won’t happen on the 28th, a solution is being sought.

Mel shares, “Over the course of the next few days we’ll be re-grouping and coming up with a plan and a response.

“Our sponsors are on board, and we’ve had so many people on board with this that we’re gonna do something.”

Updates on the situation will be shared at Risingabovegp.com and Reachfm.ca.
