Yellow Zone Update for Puffer Hockey

Update from City of Owen Sound about Yellow Zone & Ice Rentals  

Nov 19, 2020  re: rising number of COVID-19 cases in Grey-Bruce and what this might mean for ice rentals at the Julie McArthur Regional Recreation Centre.

City Staff has consulted with Public Health about what might happen if our region moves into the yellow zone of Ontario’s new COVID-19 Response Framework and how this may affect our facility.

Public Health has confirmed that if our region moves into a yellow zone, ice rental operations at the Julie McArthur Regional Recreation Centre in Owen Sound would not be impacted. 

A Safety Plan and signed Conditions of Use document continue to be a requirement for all rentals. Rental agreement holders must continue to be vigilant and track participation including dates, names and phone numbers. We understand these requirements may have seemed cumbersome at the time, but having these completed as part of our rental process from the beginning has ensured that facility use will not be impacted for users.

We cannot stress the importance of following Public Health guidelines strongly enough. 

Masks are mandatory. Keep your distance. Wash and disinfect your hands regularly.
