Public Skating

COVID-19 Update - updated Nov. 25, 2020
The Provincial Health Officer (PHO) made an announcement on Nov. 18 extending the restrictions announced on November 8 and implementing new restrictions, in effect until December 7, in an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19.   

Updates and Extensions of Changes to Services:
• Mandatory Masks: All patrons visiting the Rec Centre Customer Service, Art Gallery, and  Fitness Centre will be required to wear a mask throughout their entire visit to the facility.  A reminder that an informed consent is signed upon a patrons first visit to the centre following new COVID-19 protocols. This signed agreement requires all users to follow City of Pitt Meadows COVID-19 protocols which now include mandatory masks in all indoor spaces. Disposable masks will be available at customer service, if needed. This requirement is due to the implementation of an “Emergency Act in Place” mandating the requirement for wearing a mask in all public indoor and retail spaces.  Mask Wearing Regulations for Children:
11 years old and under: Recommended, but not required by the province, to be worn within our facilities and programs .
12 years and older: Required by the province, to be worn within our facilities and programs.
• Group Fitness: By order of the Provincial Health Officer, all group spin classes, hot yoga and high intensity interval training (HIIT) are suspended indefinitely. All other group indoor physical activities are temporarily suspended. 
Updated public health guidance for these activities will be available by November 30. Businesses will need to update their COVID-19 safety plans to comply with the new guidance and post it publicly before resuming these activities.

    • Dance studios

    • Yoga
    • Pilates
    • Strength and conditioning
    • Cheerleading
    • Gymnastics
• Weightroom: facility is open and as stated by Dr. Henry, masks are mandatory the entire time you are in a public space including while working out.  This service may continue if physical distancing and safety measures have been put in place. When the facility re-opened in September the following procedures were implemented and continue: health screening upon each visit, hand sanitization upon entering the facility, distribution of individual cleaning kits to each customer, staffing of the weightroom area to ensure compliance with physical distancing and cleaning.
