In light of recent policy changes to COVID-19 protocols within the province of New Brunswick, we are actively monitoring the situation and working closely with Moncton Royal Oaks Golf Club to ensure a safe experience for all our learners. Tamarack will cooperatively engage with local health authorities to ensure our event aligns with current mandates. We strongly recommend learners come prepared to wear masks and show proof of vaccination. As a first step to ensure a safe learner experience, we have decided to reduce the capacity of the venue by 25% to ensure ample room for social distancing. We will continue to update this page as advancements are made.
