This framework will be debated in the Scottish Parliament and is planned to come into force on Monday 2nd November.
The SCA will monitor the regulations and guidance relating to COVID and how these affect paddlesport and we will continue to take advice from sportscotland and collaborate with the governing bodies for the other outdoor sports in Scotland.
Further paddlesport guidance will be prepared and issued once the details of the proposed tiered framework and any other relevant regulations have been carefully considered.
In the meantime, please note that the short term restrictions, currently in force in many areas of Scotland, have been extended until 2nd November 2020.
