It’s definitely a different world out there! After many discussions and taking into consideration the serious effects that the COVID19 has made on our community and sponsors, the Woodbury Ambassadors have decided to pause our 2020-2021 Candidacy program and upcoming events. We will start recruiting Candidates again next Spring 2021 for this great scholarship and community opportunity. For the next year, we have invited our current Ambassadors to extend their reign.
The Woodbury Days Council has made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 event. Join us for Woodbury Days 2021 – August 20-22, 2021 in Objibway Park
Please stay safe! We hope to see you all real soon!
