In response to yesterday's order from the Provincial Health Officer, the Northern Sport Centre will be implementing the following restrictions in regards to wearing masks and participating in athletic activities. These are effective immediately until midnight December 7, 2020. Masks are now required for everyone in all public indoor settings and workplaces, which includes our facility. Please wear a mask all the time where possible except for those who are unable. Unfortuna...tely, we have had to cancel all high-intensity fitness classes and any events considered to be social gatherings. All sporting games, competitions and practices can continue per ViaSport Phase 3 guideline requirements. For some, masks may not be required in the field of play. Our enhanced cleaning and sanitization requirements remain in place. We are grateful to the NSC community for adhering to these new directions; the more we pull together and respectfully support one another, the safer we will all be. #mynsc #cityofpg #unbc http://ow.ly/Gfzr50CqPwm

As we come up on our three month re-opening date, the Northern Sport Centre response to the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve. The Provincial Health Officer has indicated her expectation that people wear a mask as part of a multi-pronged approach to preventing the spread of COVID-19. We support this message and encourage members and users to do the same. Your commitment to cleaning fitness equipment, wearing a mask and staying away when ill helps keep fellow members and staff safe, and our facility open. #mynsc #princegeorgebc #cityofpg #covid19 #unbc http://ow.ly/HvZm50CmfkV
