Under the guidance of BC’s Provincial Health Officer, the Life Saving Society, WorkSafe BC and the BC Recreation and Parks Association, staff continue to work on a plan to reopen more facilities, programs and services.
Facilities that are currently open:
- Outdoor tennis courts
- Outdoor basketball court
Starting May 26, we will be offering fitness and yoga programs by reservation only and must be reserved online or over the phone. Drop-in rates apply. Weekly classes will be available for reservation at 3pm on the Friday prior.
Outdoor tennis courts may be booked online or over the phone for priority use. Drop-in use is available at no cost, but users may be “bumped” if the court has been booked.
Signage is posted minding users to observe health and safety precautions and follow best practices for physical distancing. These measures will help to ensure a safe outdoor recreation space for all. Users are expected to continue to adhere to public health guidelines and include:
- Do not use the facilities or attend activities if you are unwell
- Stay home if you have traveled in the past 14 days OR if someone in your household is sick
- Patrons are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer to use prior to play and after touching shared surfaces
- Do not share equipment
- Keep a 2 metre distance at all times
Additions specifically for tennis courts:
- Queue outside the courts and maintain 2 metres distance when courts are in use
- Limit play to singles, or doubles play with partners from the same household
- Clearly mark your ball and refrain from picking up others' tennis balls
- Casual play only; no lessons
The following indoor facilities remain closed until further notice to support community health and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- Panorama Recreation Centre
- Greenglade Community Centre
All timed passes will be extended for the duration of the closure. Monthly payment plans will be temporarily suspended.
Programs scheduled during the closure will be cancelled and a prorated refund will be provided. We ask for your patience as these are processed.
Should you have questions, please contact us at 250.656.7271 or by email.
