  • Our space will have bright overhead lighting, plus natural lighting from window, tables, chairs, and a power outlet to share.

  • Ground floor washrooms are binary with "gender diverse people welcome" signage. A single-user washroom is available in the rink lobby.

  • Second floor is accessed by stairs or elevator, accessible parking spots are at ground level with ramp or stair access into the building.

  • Registration is not required, but it allows us to contact you in the event of a last-minute cancellation. In the event that more people arrive than the room capacity allows, registered participants will have priority over drop-ins and be seated as first-come, first-served if we are unable to shift to a larger space.

    Notes

    NOTE: The nature of the activity is such that you may interact with other people who are considered to be in good health, continuous physical distance between other people cannot be guaranteed, and, by participating in the activity, you are at risk of being infected by a pathogen, including but not limited to SARS-COV-2. SARS-COV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, may exacerbate other health issues and is the cause of an ongoing global pandemic. SARS-COV-2 is highly communicable and dangerous. If you become infected with SARS-COV2, you may transmit it to other people even if you are not exhibiting symptoms of illness.
