CGC Tentatively Reopening June 16th, 2021
Facility ready for NS Phase 2 start!
June 14, 2021
We’re very excited Nova Scotia remains on track for starting Phase 2 and reopening of rec facilities on Wednesday, June 16th, 2021. While the Province has yet to confirm the Phase 2 start date and details, we’ve updated our website with what to expect for our facility reopening. As always, the health and safety of CGC members, users and staff is our first priority. Because of our existing protocols at time of closure, we’re not anticipating many changes to continue to provide our community with the safest active experience possible.
