It is with excitement that we are announcing a phased approach to return to in-person programming beginning the week of February 7th, 2022.    

Please read carefully as not all programs will begin at the same time due to the current CPHO guidelines, facility availability/capacity, and program ratios. 

  • All athletes interested in returning to in-person programming MUST contact the SOPEI office at 902-368-8919 or at sopei@sopei.com to SIGN UP beginning February 4. Sign-ups made before February 4 will no longer be active. 
  • More information will be shared on program sign-up, and what programs are available for sign-up on February 4th.
  • Programs will be limited to a maximum number of participants based on CPHO guidelines, facility capacity, and program ratios. Please be patient as our team works with our coaches and facilities to develop plans.  
  • SOPEI is strongly recommending a 3-layer mask.  
    • Masks will be required by all participants while entering and exiting a facility or when not actively participating in physical activity.   
    • Coaches will be required to always mask unless actively participating. 
  • Face to face meetings and limited fundraising events will be allowed on a case-by-case basis to ensure adherence to the CPHO guidelines.   
  • The SOPEI office will remain closed to the public until at least February 28 with staff working remotely most of the time.  Please call or email to connect with us. 

We encourage anyone unable to return to in-person programming to participate and engage in our ongoing virtual at-home opportunities to stay active and healthy: 

  • Facebook Membership Group - Look for activity ideas for you to do from the safety of your home while connecting virtually with your friends and coaches!  Join the Facebook Member Group 
  • Wellness Champions Program – Join your fellow SOPEI athletes and together work towards becoming a Wellness Champion! You will follow our activity ideas in four pillars of wellness. The activities can be customized, personal and fun for every participant to enjoy. Gather all the required points in each pillar to receive a medal and keep working hard to receive all 5 medal pieces that fit together like a puzzle. 

Please do not hesitate to contact myself or any staff team member with any questions, and/or ideas for how we can best support our SOPEI community.  I can be reached directly at csheehan@sopei.com or at 1-902-628-3450. 

Thank you.
