Please note the following:

Coaches:
Due to some unforeseen shirt printing issues and the postal strike, the OFSAA West Regional T-Shirt delivery has been delayed.
The shirts that were ordered will be sent as soon as Canada Post resumes its service, which sounds like it should be by June 29. There might also be a short delay as Canada Post gets operations back up and running and has to process the volume of mail accrued over the last couple of weeks.
Additionally, X-Small blue T-shirts will be delayed as they ran out of stock on those sizes and will be delayed in delivery.
Finally, as was posted to the Regionals website, and sent to the regional convenors, large blue shirts were out of stock and had to be replaced by large white shirts.
Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.
If coaches of the respective schools that shirts are being sent to were able to contact each athlete when the shirts arrive, plans could be made for athletes to pick up shirts from their school's main offices.
Have a great summer.
