The Township of North Huron will reopen the Fitness Centre at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex Tuesday, August 4, 2020.
Although the provincial government allowed regions like Huron-Perth to enter Stage 3 of the Province’s Reopening Plan as early as July 17, the Township wanted to take time to conduct a thorough review of provincial restrictions, Public Health requirements, health and safety procedures, and re-opening guidelines related to fitness centres to ensure the safety of all residents and employees is maintained.
All fitness centres must be able to restrict the size of public gatherings and meet physical distancing requirements.
Participants must pre-book their workout ahead of time, and use hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer stations have been established throughout the facility. People should be dressed to work out as change rooms remain closed.
