Measures used to maintain social distancing

Steps taken to ensure minimal interaction of people.  (2 metres separation)

Between employees

Only 1-3 staff on at any onetime and all would be working in different locations. They are expected to maintain a 6 ft. distance

At the start and end of each shift employees that share a work space are expected to sanitize the space. (Zamboni Room, Canteen, office, gym desk )

Between Clients General all areas

There will be a separate Entrance and Exit into our main building to lead into our Lobby and a separate Entrance and Exit door into our Arena which will ensure the 6 ft distancing.

Gym: The entrance/exit to gym is inside main door to building.

All hallways and spaces will be marked with 6 ft. spacing marks so people realize the distance required. These areas are marked as two-way traffic areas and users will be moved through the location to ensure that only one group is in the area at one time.  

All dressing rooms, washrooms, office will be marked with maximum number of people allowed in to maintain 6 ft distancing.

Dressing room doors are marked with maximum number of people to ensure 6ft distancing. When dressing rooms are over that number all participants must wear a non-medical mask until they put on their helmet to go on the ice.  Each room has a handwashing sink and bathroom.

All our garbage bins are no touch.

Gym: We have signage and floor decals reminding everyone about keeping 6 feet apart.  In the class area we have tapped off several 7 foot areas with equipment to keep participants apart.  We also have separated our cardio equipment and moved some to the outer parts of the gym to help open up the space.  Only 2 people are allowed in our locker/washroom at a time.  Members are encouraged to come dressed and ready to work out and leave gym without showering.  We do have 1 shower open in each locker room.  On stairway only one person is allowed at a time. We have set up a door chime at the bottom of stairs and when they are coming up they must ring it to let people know they are, when leaving they must yell coming down so no one will meet on stairs.  There are only 15 people allowed in our gym at a time, this includes 1-2 staff members. 

Signage in the building: Notice on the Front door excluding people who are sick or should be self-isolating, directional signage, all two- way traffic areas are marked and all chairs removed, wash hands signage in all the washrooms, facility rules are posted, signage about cleaning equipment expectations, coughing and sneezing etiquette.

Markings will be placed on floors to give direction for two-way traffic and direction to dressing rooms.

All users must bring a personal water bottle that is labeled with their full name.  No sharing of water bottles We have no water drinking stations. 

Rooms are marked with the max number for the area to assist in maintaining the 6 ft distance.
