HEALTH AND SAFETY
Hespeler Village Neighbourhood Association is committed to keeping you safe while you enjoy your favourite recreation activities. The safety and well-being of our participants, volunteers and staff are our top priority. To ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience, here are some of the measures we are taking as an organization.
OUR STAFF
OUR FAMILIES
- We ask that our participants stay home if they are experiencing symptoms of any illness, no matter how minor
- Should a participant have an onset of symptoms while attending the program they will be isolated from their group with a staff or volunteer and an emergency contact will be contacted immediately for pick-up
- If the sibling of an affected participant is asymptomatic (no symptoms present), the sibling is permitted to attend our programs
- Those considered to be high-risk contact will be contacted by the Region of Waterloo Public Health and provided with instructions for the next steps
- We have provided all participants access to personal protective equipment should they require it (face masks, hand sanitizer and gloves)
- Participants are not required to wear a face-covering when outdoors, however, they are encouraged to have one available should physical distancing become a challenge (e.g, when conducting first aid)
OUR SPACE
- Currently, our programs are being facilitated at The Hespeler Arena in Beehive Hall
- All indoor program space is vacuumed and mopped, all hard surfaces are sanitized and disinfected before and after each program use, and all frequent touchpoints are sanitized by staff upon entry and exit
- We have limited registration numbers to many of our programs to adhere to physical distancing guidelines and room capacities
- We are only accepting scheduled visits by community members at this time to limit the number of people in our space
