In a press release today, Public Health announced the lifting or altering of some restrictions in Halifax Regional Municipality and its neighbouring communities (view release). These restrictions were introduced last Saturday, February 27th and were expected to be in place until at least March 26th. Fortunately, case numbers remain low and the restrictions will be lifted as of 8am March 5th.
As for what this means at the CGC, we’re excited to welcome back the following:
- Up to 60 participants for open swims when offered in both pools
- Sport rentals for competitions and games
- Spectators for CGC delivered programs where participants are 11 years of age or younger
