COVID Safety Info - North Shore Winter Club

Effective April 25, 2022 at 00:01:00 EDT, the following easing of border measures will come into effect, federally:

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children aged 5-11 who are accompanied by a fully vaccinated parent, step-parent, guardian or tutor will no longer be required to complete a pre-entry COVID-19 test for entry to Canada. Pre-entry tests will still be required for partially vaccinated or unvaccinated travelers 12 and older who are currently eligible to travel to Canada. Children under 5 years of age are not required to provide a COVID-19 test result.
All fully vaccinated travelers will no longer be required to provide a quarantine plan upon entry. This requirement will also be removed for children aged 5-11 who are accompanied by a fully vaccinated parent, step-parent, guardian, or tutor and travelers with a medical contraindication to a COVID-19 vaccine.
Furthermore, fully vaccinated travelers arriving to Canada on or after April 25, 2022, will no longer be federally required to do the following for 14 days after arriving:
- mask while in public spaces;
- monitor and report if they develop signs or symptoms;
- quarantine if another traveler in the same travel group exhibits signs or symptoms or tests positive; and
- maintain a list of close contacts and locations visited.

Junior members aged 11 and older may use the Club facilities without adult supervision, except in certain areas (Lounge, Fitness Centre, Adult only areas etc).
Children 10 and under must have direct parental supervision at all times while at the Club, unless they are in a registered Club program or in Child Minding.
Members must accompany juniors under the age of 16 years in the Lounge at all times.
Each Member is allowed a maximum of four participating Guests per month, none of whom may be introduced more frequently than twice per month in total.
There are no longer restrictions on capacities at events, in the restaurant, viewing areas, bathrooms, dressing rooms etc.
Reciprocal privileges are now permitted.
Game Time bookings will no longer be required for Open Ice, Child-minding, Shooting Lanes or Family Swim. Booking is still required for Tennis, Pickleball, HPTC, Ice Rentals, Peloton Bikes, Classes & Events, Daytime Lap Swim

On April 8, 2022 at 12:01 am, further restrictions will be lifted as per the PHO:

Proof of vaccination will no longer be required under public health order to access businesses, events and services; the NSWC will be aligned to these orders
- Individual businesses and event organizers can choose to continue requiring proof of vaccination for entry; this may affect certain NSWC events.
- Federal proof of vaccination is still required for federally regulated travel, like air travel

Masks are no longer required indoors, but they are highly recommended in high volume areas. Federal rules do state that persons returning to Canada after travel must wear a well-constructed and well-fitting mask when in public spaces, both indoors and outdoors for 14 days following re-entry.
If you have a cold and have tested negative, we ask that you still wear a mask while at the Club, at all times. Sometimes these tests show a false negative.
