Woolwich Arena Information as of January 1st, 2022
Please note this is subject to change at anytime.
VACCINATION
As per Ontario Regulation 645/21, effective January 4, 2022, everyone 12 and older entering an arena will be required to:
- show government identification (a picture or legible photocopy is acceptable), and
- complete the Woolwich Wild Contact tracing and COVID-19 health screening, and
- show proof of vaccination using the enhanced vaccine certificate with QR code, OR
- for individuals with a medical exemption, as of January 10th, 2022, show a provincially issued exemption QR code for verification.
Proof of vaccination and identification will be required each and every time you enter the facility. Please be sure your daughter has a copy of their vaccination certificate with the QR code AND a copy of their government identification with them at all ice times.
It is important to understand that proper documentation including QR codes and identification are required. In addition, physician notes will no longer be accepted after January 10, 2022. If an individual feels they qualify for an exemption, they must approach their PHU.
Children turning 12 years of age in 2022 have 12 weeks to become fully vaccinated in order to be permitted to participate in hockey and/or enter the arena. If your daughter will not meet this vaccination requirement, you can contact us to withdraw from hockey. Please contact our registrar at [email protected]
New Woolwich Township guidelines for facilities:
- Please try to reduce the number of spectators per player at practices and games (1 parent/guardian per player where possible)
- Players should come to practice and/or games as dressed as much as possible and ready to play – dressing rooms will be available 15 minutes before and after ice times.
- Keep safe dressing room protocols – minimize time spent in dressing rooms, wear masks, and keep distanced
- New dressing room posted capacities (50%) or maximum capacity of 10 players in most dressing rooms – this may mean players taking turns. The Township is working to accommodate sufficient dressing rooms for game play and may need to make some adjustments.
- Everyone must wear masks at all times including team staff, volunteers, parents, and players while not on the playing surface or bench. Team staff must wear masks while on the bench.
- Keep distanced wherever possible, and do not congregate in lobbies or hallways.
- Limit bringing food or beverages into the recreation facilities (water for sport is exempted). Only consume these items if absolutely necessary, and re-mask as soon as possible after consuming within the recreation facilities. These measures are in place to encourage mask wearing while in the recreation facilities.
- Eliminate indoor team social activity.
We ask that all patrons show patience and respect to staff and other users as we adjust to these new rules and regulation
