What do I need to attend a Central Huron Recreation Facility?
Users of Central Huron recreation facilities will be required to actively screen for COVID-19 symptoms by completing the below form and will be required provide proof of vaccination as outlined below prior to entering a Central Huron recreation facility.
Proof of Vaccination |
|
Effective September 22, 2021, any individual 12 years of age or older must provide proof of vaccination prior to entering a Central Huron recreation facility subject to exemptions listed below. The requirements and protocols being implemented are based on The Province on Ontario’s Reopening Ontario Act, and The Huron Perth Public Health Unit recommendations. The exemptions to the general proof of vaccination policy are as follows:
Please note that any individual 18 years of age or older who is attending an indoor recreation facility for the purpose of “youth recreational sport” is required to provide proof of vaccination prior to entry, regardless of status as a coach, official or volunteer. In addition, an individual or group renting a Municipal facility (excluding the Eastlink Arena) will be required to verify proof of vaccination for any attendees who are 12 years of age or older (i.e. eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine based on their age). All CHCC walking track users must check in at the YMCA desk to verify vaccination before proceeding to the track. YMCA membership is not required.
|
| 1) Who is Required to Show Proof of Vaccine to enter the Arena, Halls or Community Centre? |
| All patrons 12 years and older entering the East Link Arena, Auburn, Kinburn, Londesboro & Holmesville Halls and the Libro Hall will be required to complete a screening assessment. Upon successful screening, patrons will be asked to provide proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and proof of identification. Fully vaccinated is defined as having two doses at least 14 days prior to the date of visiting the facility. |
| 2) I am a parent brining my child to the Arena, am I required to show Vaccine Proof? |
| Yes, everyone who is over 12 must be fully vaccinated to enter the facilities. |
| 3) Are there exemptions to the policy? |
|
• Children under 12 years of age (are required to be accompanied by a fully vaccinated adult) |
| 4) If I leave the Arena or Hall am I required to show my Vaccine Proof to re-enter? |
| Yes, each time you enter the facility you will be required to show your proof of vaccine and ID. You will only need to complete the health screening once per day. The reason for this is that we do not store any private health information such as vaccine receipts and therefore have no other way to verify proof of vaccines. |
| 5) Are masks required to be worn? |
| Yes. Masks are required to be worn indoors at all times with the exception of participants exercising or playing sports. This includes coaches and volunteers on the bench and players in the dressing rooms. |
| 6) I have multiple children participating in activities at different times. Can we all enter the facility at the same time? |
| We are asking that participants arrive no more than 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time as this allows us to manage the capacity requirements for our facility. In the event that a sibling is waiting for their ice time in the stands, please note that all spectators over the age of 12 are required to be fully vaccinated. |
