The Members of Red Knights NB Chapter 1 wish to thank you and the International for the trust you put in us to host the 2021 International Rally. We have worked very hard over the last 5 years getting ready for the Rally and the hard work of our Rally Chair Jim Bedford and the Committee Chairs and members have laid out a fantastic agenda we know would have been a fantastic week of Friendship and Fellowship. I would like to thank you and the RKMC International Executive for allowing me to address your spring meeting to give you all an overview of our efforts and disappointments with regards to the 2021 International Rally.
To the Members of RKMC NB1, I want to thank you for your hard work and commitment to all the fund raising and planning for the 2021 Rally, you have all been exemplary in your commitment to this cause and I know your disappointment with this announcement, however it is totally out of our control.
To all Red Knights around our Beautiful World, I am announcing the Cancelation of the Red Knight International Rally for 2021 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The on-going Pandemic has put restrictions on everything we have been working so hard to accomplish. The Province of New Brunswick and the Government of Canada have limited access to people traveling in and out of our Country and the pandemic has taken another deadly turn for the worst. I know we were all looking forward to this Rally but it is totally out of our control and the decision to Cancel was not made lightly but necessary. As First Responders we are acutely aware of the dangers of Covid and there is no way RKMC NB 1 or any Red Knight would promote a Rally of this size knowing how it could impact our World.
If you have preregistered your Monies will be reimbursed directly back to you. If you have made Reservations, Rental or Flights, It will be your responsibility to cancel and request a refund.
I apologize again for the any inconvenience and look forward to seeing everyone at the 2022 International Rally.
