Hey folks, We've updated our booking system for both locations! As of today, climbers are not required to book their session for BAYERS LAKE. As for NORTH END, we only require climbers to book their climbing session if they plan on coming between 3:30pm and 10:30pm. Mornings and early afternoons do not require bookings. We are still enforcing physical distancing and our capacity cap at both locations. If our facility is full when you arrive, staff will ask you to wait for a spot to become available before entering the gym.

Morning folks! Following the increase in cases and the recent update from the NS government, we've made some changes in the cafe. We ask everyone to put their mask on before entering the building and sanitize their hands at the door. If you're planning on sitting in the cafe, please provide your contact information at the door. Our largest table capacity is 5 people, no exceptions.... Due to customers not wearing masks at their tables, we've added a bussing station in the cafe where customers can dispose of their dirty dishes in order to reduce the amount of interaction with staff. For the same reason, we've established a new ordering procedure where we will ask you to pick up your food at the bar instead of staff running food at your table. We've installed barriers between tables in order to physically seperate customers. As always, we will sanitize tables in between customers and sanitize high touch surfaces as often as possible. That's it for now folks! Stay safe out there.

Have you signed up for the yoga class tomorrow? Every Monday and Friday, we're offering yoga classes at our Bayers Lake location from 6pm to 7pm! We're asking participants to bring their own mats! You can book a class either online or in person at Bayers Lake!

Opening our second gym in Bayers Lake has been a roller coaster of emotions. Big shout out to everyone who helped with the project! We could not have gotten it done without your hard work and dedication. Building a gym during a pandemic is an adventure we'll never forget.

The past three months have been challenging but we're getting ready to open! On Tuesday, June 16th, we'll be (re)opening both Seven Bays locations: North End and Bayers Lake. We've been working hard at getting both gyms ready and implementing new health and safety measures based on the Nova Scotia government’s health guidelines. We’re excited to get back to climbing, and while we are committed to offering an exceptional bouldering experience, it is essential that we protect ...our staff and the members of our community. Please keep an eye out for the detailed outline of the changes we've put in place. We appreciate your patience, understanding and we know we can count on each of you to respect the new measures that are coming. We’ll be climbing together soon! #SevenBaysBayersLake #SevenBaysNorthEnd

Dear community members, Things have changed drastically for everyone in the last week. And we’ve come to realize that members of our own community will be hit hard by the financial impact of this epidemic. So we’ve decided that when we reopen the gym, for every month of membership that is kept active during the closure, we will offer 1 month of membership to a member who has found themselves in difficult times because of the covid-19 pandemic. To those who filled in the form ...last week, we are humbled and we are grateful for this gesture and they will be included in the count! It’s these acts of kindness and support that have inspired us to pay it forward. You can still support Seven Bays by filling out the following form to keep your membership active: https://app.rockgympro.com//89d36422-00a3-4d63-aa6d-aa5245 Your help will ensure that Seven Bays can weather the storm and that it is still here for its community of climbers and employees once this is all over. And if you are looking for another way to help, please consider purchasing a gift certificate, which we’ll be happy to redeem for services once we reopen! https://sevenbaysbouldering.com/registration/ We’re all in this together. Be safe, stay home. Thank you for your ongoing support. We will pay it forward. The Seven Bays team

To our valued community of members, While the Public Health Agency of Canada continues to monitor and provide guidance in regards to the current outbreak of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close Seven Bays. This is a proactive closure in an effort to do our part in slowing down the transmission of COVID-19 in our communities. To be clear, we are not currently aware of any cases of COVID-19 within Seven Bays or within our community of members. Our ...priority is always the safety of our members, staff and our community. Maintaining clear and transparent lines of communication during this uncertain time is also very important. We will be closed temporarily until March 28th, at which time we will make a decision to remain closed or to reopen. We will also provide an update on the opening date for our new gym, Seven Bays Bayer’s Lake, which is currently scheduled for April 11th. Our decision will be based on the updates and guidance provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada and their assessment of the evolving situation across Canada. We will also rely on the guidance of the health and municipal authorities here in Nova Scotia. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor this rapidly evolving situation and will provide updates to our member community as they become available. All memberships will be put on pause for this temporary closure. Cancellation requests will not be possible during this period. The decision to close is not one we take easily or lightly. The livelihoods of many people, many or all of whom are well known to our members, depend on Seven Bays remaining open. We are committed to supporting our incredible employees throughout this closure, and have already received messages of support from people saying they would like to keep their memberships active during the closure of our gym. Please consider supporting us by keeping your membership active: https://app.rockgympro.com//89d36422-00a3-4d63-aa6d-aa5245 or by purchasing a gift certificate or ten punch here: https://sevenbaysbouldering.com/registration/ Thank you all very much for your continued love and support of Seven Bays! Please stay informed, stay calm and stay healthy, Much love and appreciation for you, our community, Seven Bays Bouldering

REGARDING COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Although there are currently no confirmed cases in Halifax, we deemed it important to put into place pre-emptive measures to help prevent the propagation of the virus in our establishment and through our community. The health and safety of all our members, employees and community is our top priority.... For a complete list of the precautionary and prevention measures we are taking, please visit the following link: https://drive.google.com//1CkMfuDGsBFSKdg-pQIWPE0YVA/view We ask that you follow the recommendations of the Canadian Ministry of Health to reduce risks and ensure the health and safety of all: - Wash your hands often with warm running water and soap for at least 20 seconds. - Use an alcohol-based disinfectant if soap and water are not available (we will be supplying some shortly) - Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. - Cough or sneeze with a tissue or with your elbow (not with your hand), then immediately throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. If you have been exposed to a person with coronavirus, have a fever or feel ill, please show consideration for other members of the community and stay home until the 14-day incubation period is over or you have made a full recovery. We are closely monitoring any developments in the situation, and are committed to adapting our preventive and precautionary measures if necessary and informing you of any changes that may affect you. Thank you

Inspired by Humans of New York, Humans of Seven Bays is a bi-weekly addition to introduce you to some of our climbers and tell a little of their story. Some of us have been climbing for years, and others for weeks, but we all climb for a reason and all of our stories are unique. @maddytam is a 25yr old Environmental Science student who is simultaneously studying at NSCAD. She began climbing 9 months after seeing the drive that climbers have to continually strive for bigger ...challenges. For Maddy, climbing fulfills her need to exercise her body and mind, all while being social. Her next climbing goal is to send blues in the cave; longer-term goals include finding a career that will encompass creativity and environmental science. #sevenbays #sevenbaysbouldering #sevenbayscafe #halifaxcafe #cafe #climbinggym #boulderinggym #halifax #novascotia #climbnovascotia #northendhalifax #climbing #bouldering #routesetting #climb #rockclimbing #humansofsevenbays Photos @coastalsouls @ SEVEN BAYS BOULDERING See more
