How you and your group can keep safe

Permit holders/organizers

  • Make sure all participants understand the COVID-19 guidelines
  • Follow your provincial and national sport governing bodies' guidelines related to COVID-19
  • Limit the number of contacts between different participants by playing within set cohorts (e.g. mini-leagues or bubbles with a fixed number of participants)
  • Tell participants they must bring their own water
  • Collect participant contact information to support contact tracing if necessary
  • Follow guidelines for indoor and outdoor gatherings
  • Help coaches and instructors reinforce messages about physical distancing (2 metres or 6 feet apart if possible) and limiting physical contact; no close contact huddles, no handshakes or high fives
  • Manage your teams to spend as little time as possible in the facilities (including change rooms)
  • Frequently clean and disinfect any equipment handled by hand (e.g. hockey sticks, pucks, balls)

Participants and spectators

  • Maintain physical distancing and wear masks when possible. Masks should not be worn when conducting intense physical activities.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water before, during and after your activity
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth and face
  • Cover coughs and sneezes in a tissue or your elbow
  • Carry and use your own hand sanitizer
  • Players should come dressed in gear as much as possible
  • Bring and clean your own equipment. Avoid sharing equipment unless you are in the same household or cohort. Do not share water bottles and towels.
  • Arrive no more than 30 minutes before your booking time
  • Don’t gather or loiter in dressing rooms, parking areas or public areas before, during or after your activity
  • Practice physical distancing in spectator areas; spectator stands will not be disinfected and cleaned in between bookings
  • Spectators should stay away from dressing rooms and play surfaces unless required to support players; physical distancing guidelines should still be followed
  • Leave the location as soon as your activities end to reduce overlap of bookings
