IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT !!

We are moving the active chess tournament on Oct 17, 2926 to The Blue Building Project at 10014 102 St, Grande Prairie. It is the Old Coke bottling plant immediately beside the Alliance Church. We are playing in the room behind The Grain Bin counter , just head in the main entrance and you will find us. We are making this change in order to have a casual chess area beside a cafe in the building, from which coffee , pop, and sandwiches can be purchased during the day. I have posted an updated picture to share. Thank you for your attention to this matter ! :-p
