Good afternoon All,
Effective Wednesday, September 22, 2021, all persons will require proof of vaccination upon entering the arenas.
There are exemptions regarding who needs to provide vaccination proof such as participants under 18 years of age, coaches and staff as outlined in the excerpt from the Act below.
O. Reg. 645/21: RULES FOR AREAS AT STEP 3 AND AT THE ROADMAP EXIT STEP (ontario.ca)
Verification of vaccination receipts will be conducted and verified by the Town through placement of Security on-site. The lobby area at the front of the building where the public bathrooms and library entrance is located has been identified as an uncontrolled area. Security will be placed at the double doors from the uncontrolled area into the arena lobby.
Please ensure that all spectators have their ID and vaccination receipt readily available upon entering. We hope that you will work with your groups to ensure participants enter first so they can get to their change rooms on time and spectators will be last to enter. Caregivers or parents assisting small children are permitted to be with the participant. Below is the link to the Ontario website where vaccination receipts can be downloaded and saved. Please pass this along to your groups.

Thank You
Town of Georgina
