SnowkingSA国际影视传媒檚 Winter Festival is moving ahead as planned, albeit with some uncertainty thanks to the ongoing pandemic.

This year, the festival will be held from March 21-27. Construction on the castle has started within the last week, with a team of about ten workers assembling the structure.

Anyone who wants to take part in the festival this year as a visitor or volunteer will need to show proof of vaccination. As for other rules and restrictions, Braden says itSA国际影视传媒檚 too early to make any announcements.

Currently in the NWT, up to 50 people can gather outdoors and up to 25 people can gather indoors, excluding households. Events that would exceed these limits need to be approved in advance via an Application to Vary From Public Health Order Requirements. A health order issued earlier this month, which is set to expire Jan. 21 but could be renewed, further bans SA国际影视传媒渉igh-riskSA国际影视传媒� activities without exception, like indoor singing, dancing, or playing of wind instruments.

Braden says the team is waiting at least until these new restrictions expire before making any decisions. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 a really fluid situation and weSA国际影视传媒檙e paying close attention to it.SA国际影视传媒�

Last year, the team was forced to turn the festival into an open-air garden, with no live music or comedy, and limits on the number of people who could gather. The previous year, the festival was cancelled entirely due to the emerging pandemic.
