- Members are reminded to practice physical distancing and wear face coverings
City of Welland Main Arena
- Will open its doors to user groups on Sept. 8, 2020
- The arena will have strict public safety Return to Play protocols in place to help lessen the spread of COVID-19 and create a recreational space where participants feel comfortable and safe
- Recreation and Culture Ambassadors will be on-site to perform temperature screenings at the facility entrance and assist with hand sanitization and Return to Play procedures
- Spectators are not permitted in the arena due to provincial guidelines allowing a maximum of 50 people indoors; however, one parent or caregiver per child is allowed to enter with the child during registered ice-time
- Everyone entering the facility, from age five and up, must wear a face covering when not on the ice
“We’re confident that our Return to Play procedures will create an environment where people feel protected and can enjoy themselves,” said Richard Dalton, Manager of Recreation and Culture. “It will be great to have our members back at WCWC, expansion at the Market, and also see people having a good time out on the ice in the coming weeks.”
