Starting this Saturday several family skates will once again be opening up at ice rinks across the county.
Family Skates, Parent & Tot, Adult Sticks & Pucks, and Adult Skates will be returning to the Waterford Tricenturena, Port Dover, Delhi, Langton and Talbot Gardens Arenas.
Pre-registration and pre-payment will be required and availability is limited.
Additional protocols have also been put in place to help keep participants safe.
These include:
Limiting the amount of close interaction with staff by pre-registering and pre-paying
Limiting each session to 20 skaters.
Skaters are asked to use a COVID pre-screening tool and to stay home if feeling ill.
Skaters are asked to come fully dressed, as dressing rooms are not available.
Sanitation stations are located throughout the arenas and near the ice.
Social distancing will be required.
Visitors are required to wear masks throughout the building.
HEPA filter units have been installed in all arenas to help clean the air
Arena staff will also screen skaters upon entry to each facility, and will perform increased cleaning – including the sanitization of all touch surfaces – between each use of the rink.
