Hey Raynham Riders,
As I am sure everyone has heard, as of tomorrow, York Region will be in the Red Zone for Covid-19 restrictions. Thankfully, we were very careful when scheduling our fall classes so we do not have to cancel any classes. We will be strictly enforcing the rules to comply with public health guidelines, details were sent out via our latest email blast. If you do not receive our emails blast, you can subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/ce2AP-/Below are the guidelines that affect recreational sports facilities and how we will be adhering to them:
- All sports and recreational programs in other facilities (arenas and multiplexes) limited to 10 people per room indoors and 25 outdoors
- Riders are only permitted to enter the tack-up area 30 min prior to the start of their lesson and must leave 30 min after their lesson time to ensure we do not have too many people in the tack up area at once.
- Riders finishing their lesson are asked to wait in the arena until the next lesson enters, again to prevent crowding in the tack up area
- As it has started to get too dark in the evenings to use the outdoor grooming stalls, we will be using cross ties in the drive shed to keep riders spread out.
- Also, just a reminder that as always, only boarders and staff are permitted in the big barn. Please do not enter, even to just pass through.
- Name and contact information must be collected from all patrons and attendance for team sports is required; records must be maintained for at least one month AND
- Require appointments for entry; one reservation for teams
- All lessons are by appointment only, so we are already following these guidelines.
- No spectators are permitted, but each person under the age of 18 years who is participating in activities in the facility may be accompanied by one parent or guardian
- This was already a rule for indoor lessons and will be strictly enforced. Parents/guardians are not permitted in the tack up area but can watch lessons from the bleachers in the big area or seating area for the small arena, spread apart 3m and must wear masks.
- Screening of patrons, including spectators, is required (e.g. questionnaire)
- All riders, staff, and volunteers are required to submit this self-screening form before each visit to the barn. It will be emailed and sent via text 24 hours before your appointment.
- Face coverings are required, except when exercising
- This was already a rule, thank you to everyone for your continued compliance.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. As always, we are constantly working to make Raynham the BEST place to ride!
Nikki & the Raynham Team!
