It has been almost a month since the Provincial Vaccination Policy/Phase 5 came into effect but wanted to send a few reminders to everyone of the following:

·        Players and Coaches can enter the facilities 30 minutes prior to ice time start

·        Masks are required everywhere in the facilities, except for when participating in an activity.

·        All spectators are required to keep their mask on at all times. There is no food or beverage permitted in the arena or gymnasium.

·        All players, coaches, timekeepers, spectators, and anyone else associated with your rental must have proof of vaccination and ID with them to enter the building. The facilities have the right to ask for proof of vaccination and proof of age at any time.

Also please note the below updates specific to Rinks :
