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.
