BMO Centre London
295 Rectory St n5z0a3 London, ON, Canada

In preparation for this afternoon's townhall with the MLHU, we thought we would share the letter we put together on behalf of BMO Centre London, sent to the attention of Dr. Chris Mackie. We are so appreciative of your ongoing support and encouragement over the last few days - we will continue to work in the best interest of our players & our community

Please visit our website for a detailed release of our current operations. We appreciate your continuous support and ask for your understanding as we continue to navigate these difficult times.

We are extremely disheartened to hear of the new COVID-19 measures that will be impacting our operations. We have made every effort to maintain the health and safety of all patrons & players and are shocked by this unexpected announcement. We ask for your patience over the next couple of days while we work out how this will affect our programming and how we may proceed. League play will continue until this Friday evening, as the order does not take affect until Saturday at 12:01am. Please refrain from emailing or calling with your questions, as we will post an update both on Facebook, our website, as well as email our registered players once we know more. Stay tuned and thank you for your patience & understanding in this matter.
