In response to the evolving situation of the COVID-19 VOCs (Variant of Concern), the Government of Ontario has adopted a more rigorous and cautious approach to implementing public health measures.

This includes the new Active Screening Requirement mentioned in previous communication as well as updated isolation requirements for household members. As such, we have updated the Arena User Guidelines, under the section Safety Protocol, to reflect the following:

If a School or Workplace has sent one of your participants/players home or identified that the participant/player must remain in isolation due to close contact of a confirmed or suspected COVID Case or a school or workplace closure, the participant/player as well as their entire household (siblings, parents, etc) CANNOT attend an extra-curricular activity in the arenas until the 14 day isolation period has ended and/or they receive a NEGATIVE COVID test result and are symptom free.

As an example of the above guideline – participants, players, siblings, parents, or other people living in the same household as students or teachers who attend Lasalle or Cyril Varney are not to attend arenas up to and including March 4th 2021.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need any clarification and that you for continuing to adhere to these important guidelines so that everyone can continue being on the ice.
