It's official!
June 15, 2021
We’re very excited the Province has confirmed that recreation facilities can reopen with 50% capacity on Wednesday, June 16th, 2021 at 8am (Press Release). Because Phase 2 does not officially start until 8am, we’ve had to cancel some of our early morning bookings and shorten others. Everyone with an affected booking will be contacted directly. We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may have caused.
