COVID-19 Safety Plans & Guidelines

Symptom screening

  • Stay home if you're sick! Before visiting recreation facilities or attending programs, participants and staff are asked to do a self-check and stay home if experiencing any symptoms. For more information visit this online Self-Assessment Tool.
  • Any participants displaying symptoms will not be permitted to access the facility and will be kindly asked to leave for the collective safety of all participants and staff.

Masks

  • Wearing masks is a personal choice.

  • Please respect everyone's personal decision to wear a mask if that is what they feel most comfortable doing.

Respect other people's comfort

  • Be considerate of others. Some people might be more comfortable maintaining physical distance, so please respect other people's space.
  • Larger or outdoor spaces may be used to ensure everyone has enough space to feel comfortable.
  • Some programs may be suspended due to current restrictions or staffing shortages.
  • Program capacities may be reduced based on the space and type of activity.
  • Please do not arrive more than 5 mins before your class.

Entering & exiting our facilities

  • Entrance to and egress from our facilities may be controlled for both staff and the public. 
  • Please follow signage and staff direction.
 

Hand hygiene

  • Continue to wash or sanitize your hands regularly.
  • Hand sanitizer and/or handwashing facilities are available at all indoor RDCK facilities.
  • Unless notified otherwise, please bring your own hand sanitizer to outdoor programs and facilities.
  • Frequent handwashing will be promoted at our facilities, especially in kids programs and camps.
  • Water fountains may not be available, so please bring your own water bottle.

Cleaning

  • Cleaning is a part of each facility's focus on health and safety.

PLEASE NOTE:
Our Recreation team is using the current information and guidelines from Provincial agencies to inform our fall and winter recreation program offerings. As COVID-19 is unpredictable, we will continue to be adaptable.

Programs may need to be changed, moved or cancelled as the pandemic and associated measures evolve. Refunds and/or credits will be made available as needed. We ask that you be patient and understanding if changes need to be made throughout the course of the fall and winter.

 

Change rooms are available at some facilities. If you are unsure, contact the facility directly, or arrive in your swimming or exercise attire and you will be provided with a place to store your shoes, coats and outerwear.  

 

Thank you.
