Covid-19 has dramatically changed how we all live, work, socialize, and recreate. The City has taken a very thoughtful, informed and cautious approach to operating as a way to ensure the health and safety of all of our participants.
The safety protocols and procedures in the recreation facilities ensure that the City is in compliance with the Provincial Health Orders. Procedures have been put in place to meet the physical distancing requirements and mass gatherings order of a maximum of 50 people in the facility/event set out by the Province of BC. This means:
- The City must meet the physical distancing requirements and mass gatherings order of a maximum of 50 people in the facility/event set out by the Province of BC.
- City operated facilities must have a COVID-19 Operating Plan to follow based on size and layout.
- Some programs have had to be temporarily suspended as Public Health Orders are updated.
