Updated PHO Guidance – April 1

In addition to the March 29 update to the Events and Gatherings Order from the Provincial Health Officer (PHO), new guidelines for indoor exercise were released on April 1. These new guidelines include that masks must be worn indoors at all times, including while exercising, and that increased space is required between exercise equipment. Participants will see some movement of equipment going on over the coming days and new signs going up at all recreation centres.

Saanich recreation centres continue to adapt programs and services in response to the pandemic and directives issued by the PHO. We are committed to keeping the community updated as the situation evolves.

As per the order from the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) Dr. Bonnie Henry announced March 29, all indoor group fitness classes are paused until April 19, 2021. If you are registered for a program subject to cancellation, you will be contacted by Saanich Recreation.
