December 15, 2021
The Province announced a return to restrictions provincewide as of December 17th, 2021 and lasting at least until the new year (Press Release). Physical distancing and gathering limits are among the restrictions that impact your visit to CGC.
We’ve updated the COVID-19 section of our website with more details, but here’s an overview of what to expect at the CGC as of 6am on Friday:
Booking Required for Activities
- The safest way to manage Public Health restrictions in capacity and support physical distancing, is through online booking of all available activities. It also enables you to guarantee your workout time and helps you stay on track with your healthy active living goals.
- Booking for activities on Friday, December 17th will be available online in MyRec and in-person as of Thursday, December 16th at 2pm.
- The ability to book 7 days in advance (for members and non-members) will become available later in the afternoon on Thursday, December 16th as soon as we have all the entries in MyRec. After that, booking 7 days in advance starts at 6am every day.
- We have how-to’s online to help anyone new to the booking process: https://canadagamescentre.ca/about-us/online-registration-services/#MyRecHowTo
- Booking is available for both members and non-members and payment is made at the time of booking, unless you have an active membership.
- Please note: 10 punch passes are currently on hold due to system constraints, and the expiry date will be extended to reflect the duration of the hold. In the meantime, access is available by purchasing a day pass.
Activities & Amenities
- The majority of our activities & amenities will remain available, but are subject to capacity restrictions. For a detailed list and updated Aquatics, Drop-in Fitness and Field House & Track schedules please see: Available Amenities & Activities
