Face Mask Requirement
Masks On!
The Province announced that as of Friday, July 31, 2020, masks would be mandatory in public spaces. This new rule will impact the Sportsplex. Here’s how:
Everyone entering the Sportsplex will be required to wear masks. There are a few exceptions.
- Children under the age of 2 do not have to wear a mask.
- Children aged 3 & 4 should wear a mask, but if parents can’t get them to wear it, it will not be enforced.
- Persons who are unable to wear a mask for medical reasons, including those with intellectual disabilities if they refuse to wear them, are exempt.
- Day camp participants will not be required to wear masks.
Masks must be put on by patrons before entering the facility. If you do not have a mask on, the staff at the door will remind you that you need to be wearing one to enter. Masks must be worn everywhere around the facility except for when you are participating in your activity.
You DO have to wear a mask in:
- The entrance of the facility
- Hallways
- Washrooms
- Locker-rooms
- Meeting rooms
- Sitting on the pool deck
You do NOT have to wear a mask when:
- You are working out in the fitness centre
- You are participating in a fitness class
- Walking/running the track
- You are on the ice surface
- You are in one of the pools
- You are participating in an activity in the gymnasium or on the courts
When you have finished your activity, you will be required to put your mask back on and leave it on until you have left the facility.
Staff are also required to wear a mask around the facility, with the following exceptions:
- Staff are in their offices
- Staff are eating lunch in the staff room
The maximum number of people you can have in one space without physically distancing remains at 10, wearing a mask will not change this limit.
On August 3, we will be opening the dry-locker rooms for use, without showers. The lockers that are available will be clearly marked for customer use.
