Regular Practices

• Please bring your own mask and water bottle, if you want to mask up.
• Contact the practice organizer or marshal in charge if you will need loaner gear.

Please contact the relevant marshals or post on one of our Facebook groups with any questions.

Although the SCA complies with all applicable laws to ensure the health and safety of our event participants, we cannot eliminate the risk of exposure to infectious diseases during in-person events. By participating in the in-person events of the SCA, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks. You agree to take any additional steps to protect your own health and safety and those under your control as you believe to be necessary.

The SCA Bullying and Harassment policy is in effect.
It is an attendee’s responsibility to be familiar with and understand this policy.

The SCA prohibits harassment and bullying of all individuals and groups. Harassment and bullying includes, but is not limited to the following:

• Offensive or lewd verbal comments directed to an individual
• The display of explicit images (drawn or photographic) depicting an individual in an inappropriate manner
• Photographing or recording individuals inappropriately to abuse or harass the individual
• Inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual attention; or retaliation for reporting harassment and/or bullying

Participants violating these rules are subject to appropriate sanctions. If an individual feels subjected to harassment, bullying or retaliation, they should contact a Seneschal, President of the SCA, or the Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman. If a participant of the SCA becomes aware that someone is being harassed or bullied, they have a responsibility pursuant to the SCA Code of Conduct to come forward and report this behaviour to a Seneschal, President of the SCA or Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman.

Archery & Thrown Weapons Practice

Unfortunately, we must look for a new permanent home for Archery and Thrown Weapons practice. In the meantime, the Shire of Lionsdale has graciously offered us space for our equipment and practice time on their range.

So, for now, practice will be starting April 20 on Sunday, 4-8 pm at Atchelitz Farmers Hall, 6542 Lickman Road, Chilliwack. Many thanks to our wonderful friends of Lionsdale!

Equestrian Activities

Dates depend on interest, and marshal and equipment availability, and will be announced as they are scheduled.
