COVID-19 Alert Level 2 and Waka Ama

As we prepare to move to Level 2 Aotearoa, we would like to thank our Waka Ama whānau for all your efforts over the last 6 weeks. It has been a difficult time for everyone and together, along with the whole country, we have managed to get through Levels 4 and 3 and get on top of this pandemic.

It is important to understand what will be possible in terms of practicing, participating, or competing in Waka Ama during Level 2.

First and foremost – There is no change to Level 2 until Thursday 14 May 2020. Until that time, we remain in Level 3

You can find all information regarding waka ama in level 2 here: https://wakaama.co.nz/stories/read/1005295
