Kia ora koutou,
Following yesterday’s government update regarding Omicron and the decision to move from the orange to the red traffic light setting within 48 hours of Omicron being detected in the community, something that is looking highly likely in the coming days. We have liaised with all regions and with their full support have made the proactive decision to postpone all 2022 Apollo Projects Junior Festivals. As per the current red traffic light restrictions, events can only accommodate a maximum of 100 people making the running of a large event like the Junior Festival extremely difficult.
