Effective February 27th, 2021 at 8am
February 26, 2021
This afternoon, Public Health announced a return to restrictions in areas of HRM and some neighbouring municipalities, effective as of 8am tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 27th until at least 11:59pm on March 26th (https://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20210226005). Among the restrictions, are changes to sport – namely sport group size without social distancing (reduced to 25 people), no games or tournaments only practices, and no spectators.
Here’s how the CGC is affected:
- Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling our open swims this weekend (February 27th and 28th) and capacities will be adjusted for the following weekend. All affected bookings will be cancelled and day pass users will be provided with a credit on their accounts.
- Sport rentals for games and competitions will be cancelled. Sport rentals for practices with a maximum of 25 people will be allowed.
- Spectators are no longer allowed for CGC delivered programs where participants are 11 years of age or younger; i.e. no spectators is now building-wide.
