CGC COVID-19 UPDATES

All persons, aged 5 years and older are required to wear a mask while inside the Canada Games Centre, Takhini Arena, and Mt McIntyre Recreation Centre. This includes all public areas; elevators, concourse, hallways, washrooms, change rooms, spectator seating, Youth Club, Wellness Centre, and to and from activities.

Exceptions include meeting rooms, when privately rented, appropriately distanced, or within a bubble.

Temporary removal of the mask or face covering is permitted where necessary when:

• actively engaging in a sport, recreation, or fitness activity (except Wellness Centre)
• while seated to consume food or drink
• for any emergency or medical purpose
• for the purpose of verifying identification

Using a mask alone isn’t enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Continue to follow all other Public Health and CGC protocols like keeping your hands clean, following cough and sneeze etiquette, physical distancing guidelines, and staying home if feeling sick.

• Proper hand washing and drying before exiting the washroom is required.
• Washrooms are cleaned throughout the day by staff, with a deep clean overnight.
• Washrooms are not to be used as a substitute for change rooms.

Separate entrance and exits doors, directional signage, stanchions and staff to guide you through the facility and help you maintain physical distancing.

Health screening during online booking and also self-screen prior to entering the facility.

• To kick-start our safety and cleaning practices, we performed a complete deep clean of the facility and many maintenance projects during the closure.
• Staggered bookings and activity times scheduled to support enhanced cleaning periods during the day and deep cleaning at night.
• Activity specific modifications and disinfecting practices to support current Public Health protocols.
