Once again thank you for your continued patience with the refund package and the season in general.  

I'm also please to announce that we have an AGM scheduled for Sunday April 11th 2021 at 6pm via Zoom.  More information regarding executive positions, agenda, etc will come in the near future.

FSRA REGISTRATION REIMBURSEMENT FAQ 

FEE BREAKDOWN

• Active Start season started on October 7^th, and ended on November 4^th with the AHS Restrictions. Prorated Season Fee was calculated with that timeframe.

REIBURSEMENT FAQ

1.      Why was the prorated season considered from September 9^th to November 15^th?

Camps started during the week of September 7, so the majority of players started on the ice that week or weekend. As a result, the majority of the players were on the ice for 11 weeks +/- out of a 25 week +/- regular season.

2.      How was the prorated season fee calculated?

With the exception of Active Start players, most of the players were on the ice for 11 weeks +/- out of an anticipated 25 weeks, as mentioned above, using 44% of the anticipated ice time. Instead of using 44% of the fees, FSRA has decided to use reserve funds in our account to cover the  full years administrative costs, sanitization products, Black Gold League (BGL) fees, and Ringette Alberta/Ringette Canada fees. By using funds within our reserve, we were able to reimburse parents 2/3 (67%) of their registration fees.

Active Start players were on the ice 6 weeks out of a total of 18 weeks and were refunded accordingly.

3.      Was FSRA charged in full for Ringette Alberta and Black Gold League Fees?

No. At this time, Ringette Alberta has only invoiced FSRA 50% of their fee and have indicated that no further invoices are coming. This fee covers insurance, as well as, Ringette Canada fees. Black Gold League (BGL) is refunding approximately 2/3 of the fee collected to cover expenses to date.

4.      How will refunds be issued?

Starting on March 15th 2021 refunds will begin to be processed. Refunds will be made to the credit card used in the original registration process.

• Note that if your credit card is no longer valid (has been compromised or has expired) please contact Fran at the FSMSA office (fsmsa@telus.net) stating that you will need to have a cheque issued instead of a credit to your card. Please make sure you notify the FSMSA office prior to March 15 before refunds are started.

If you have paid registration fees via cash or cheque, FSMSA-Ringette will issue a cheque payable to the RAMP account holder.

If you will be receiving a cheque, please make sure that the FSMSA Office has your current address on file, otherwise the cheques will be mailed to the address in RAMP.

Any outstanding fees will be deducted from refunds. Any fees owing after, will be invoiced using the prorated fee schedule as show on Page 1.

Due to AHS restrictions and the shortened season, volunteer cheques will not be cashed as there wasn’t enough hours for members to fulfill their obligations.

Lastly, please also be aware that credit card refunds may take up to 2 weeks to appear on your credit card transactions.

Sincerely on behalf of the FSRA board,

Rob Peirson

FSRA President
