Back to SearchWEST GREY, ON – West Grey recreation facilities require proof of vaccination status (or proof of exemption) with the rollout of the Ontario government’s COVID-19 vaccine certificate: Ontario’s vaccine certificate.
Ontarians need to be fully vaccinated (two doses plus 14 days) and provide their proof of vaccination along with government-issued ID to access municipal recreation centres. That proof is needed as follows:
- individuals aged 12+ using a gym or other area with exercise equipment or weights
- individuals aged 12+ spectating, including at sporting events
- individuals aged 12+ accessing the facility for any purpose, including parents or guardians of youth participating in an organized sport.
- individuals aged 12+ required to participate in their child’s lesson i.e. swimming lesson
- individuals aged 12+ participating in recreation programs such as fitness classes, shinny, recreational skating, lane swims, public swims, walking track
- roof of identification and proof of being fully vaccinated is not required for workers or volunteers, including coaches and officials.
- individuals under the age of 12 are not required to show proof of vaccination
Individuals who do not show proof of vaccination will not be permitted to enter the facility or participate in indoor programming, unless they fall under an exemption in the provincial public health orders.
Once proof of vaccination is provided and you enter the facilities, safety protocols will continue to be in place, including physical distancing, pre-screening of program participants, wearing of masks, reduced rental and program capacity, and enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols.
Starting January 4, 2022 proof of vaccination must be shown using the Enhanced Vaccine Certificate including the QR code. Individuals wishing to access the enhanced vaccine certificate can download it here.
