COVID-19: tightening of health measures

On December 20, 2021 at 1 p.m. Vaudreuil-Dorion— today the government announced a tightening of health measures due to the critical epidemiological situation and the new variant omicron.

We are still affected by these measures. We know they will apply today at 5 p.m., but do not know until when they will be in place.

For sports and leisure[1] :

• Suspend any tournament or competition.
• Indoors: Limit the practice of any activity to a group of 25 participants maximum
• Gyms closed
• Sports performances, whether amateur of professional, will be held without spectators

For teaching environments (Sport-Study and Concentration-Sport)[2] :

• Schools are also being closed with a return to in-person classes scheduled for Jan. 10, 2022. Any classes in the first week of January will be held online.

Remote working is now mandatory :

• Our administrative team will be in remote working from 5 p.m. this evening, to join us you must contact us by email at: info@clubgymini.org

In summary, the challenges by sector:

• In the recreational sector
  • The start of the session is postponed to Monday January 10, 2022. The session will last 10 weeks instead of 11.
  • In order to respect the capacity limit of 50% and the maximum of 25 people per group for indoor group sports and recreation, we will create a schedule of alternative classes every two weeks. That is, your child should have classes every two weeks.
  • No spectators are allowed.
  • When we have more details regarding the implementation of our new schedule we will let you know as soon as possible.

A BROKEN HEART FOR CHRISTMAS

Tightening of sanitary measures is hard to welcome and quite frankly we are all heartbroken as Christmas dawns. We were so hoping that we would be able to relive this year for a bit and be able to focus on our purpose. What we love most in the world is sharing our passion with our community. We can’t wait to see you all in the gym, walking on your hands, heads upside down!

We encourage you to stay active during the holiday season and look forward to seeing you again soon.
