Today marks our official entry into Phase Five of the province’s COVID-19 recovery plan.
That mean’s there are new rules in place for accessing municipal facilities in Port Hawkesbury.
Starting today, the Civic Centre will have enhanced directional signage; visitors will need to check in at the box office during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30-4:30).
For events after 4:30 p.m, you should go directly to the event location — and be ready to show that you’ve got both shots of a vaccine.
Phase five also brings new rules around what you will and won’t need to show proof of vaccination for.
Proof of Vaccination status will be required for;
· All arena activities
· All pool activities
· All facility rentals
· All arts and entertainment activities and events
· Recreation programs
· Fitness Centre
· Canteen services
Proof of vaccination will not be required for these essential activities;
· Routine municipal business, in example, paying of taxes or utilities or routine inquiries
· Eastern District Planning activities, unless dictated by that office
· Strait Area Transit, unless dictated by that office
· Y-Reach
· Legislatively required meetings where public participation cannot be done virtually (such as municipal council meetings where citizens have a democratic right to participate)
There are also new hours of operation in place for the walking track. Beginning today, it’ll be open Monday-Friday 6am-4pm
Masking will continue to be required in all areas of the Civic Centre.
