COVID-19 Safety Policies
March 11, 2022
MASK USE
The Mandatory Face Covering Order (Mask Mandate) has been repealed. While the PHO states that masks are no longer mandatory, RGA requires that visitors/participants over the age of 5 years(who are not participating in class) wear a mask when accessing/using the facility(until further notice). This is for continued safety of our participants and staff. PLEASE bring your own mask! RGA does not provide masks to visitors.
SPECTATING
Parents/members are welcome to observe classes as long as vaccination requirements are fulfilled and the viewing area does not get crowded. All members, participants and staff will continue to have a shared responsibility to maintain and promote safe and healthy engagement in sport.
Proof of Vaccine Requirements- in place until April 7, 2022
Proof of Vaccine Requirements vary depending on the role and age of the individual:
Vaccine Cards are required by spectators (12+) to observe sport activities. Two doses are required.
Vaccine Cards are required by adult participants (22+) to participate in sport activities. Two doses are required.
Vaccine Cards are required by all individuals leading, supporting or assisting a sport activity, but who are not working as an employee. Two doses are required.
This means that all parents/guardians in parent assisted programming (e.g., parent and tot), and all other volunteers of any kind must provide proof of full vaccination (2 doses) to club personnel.
