and older will be required to present proof
of vaccination to access some events, services
and businesses. This order will apply
to some programs and
services offered by the
Regional District of Central
Kootenay (RDCK),
including indoor adult fitness
and sport, and indoor
events with more than 50
participants. Children and
youth recreational programs
and general admission
are exempt from the
requirement, as are aquatics
and public skates.
“The RDCK and our recreation
partners will abide
by all public health orders
to ensure the health and
safety of our staff and our
communities,” said Joe Chirico,
RDCK General Manager
of Community Services. “We
are working with our teams
and recreation user groups
to implement processes to
confirm proof of vaccination
so people can enjoy safe and
fun recreation experiences.”
According to the order,
as of Monday, September 13, proof of at
least partial vaccination (one dose) will be
required to access a number of places. As
of Sunday, October 24, you must be fully
vaccinated (seven days after your second dose).
People who are 19 and older will also need to
present proof of identity.
Proof of vaccination is required if you are:
• An adult (22 and older) participating in a
sport or fitness activity
• An adult (22 and older) participating in
an indoor recreation activity with more
than 50 people
• Anyone 12 and older watching an indoor
sporting event that is ticketed or more
than 50 people
• Anyone 12 and older attending an indoor
gathering of more than 50 people
Proof of vaccination is not required if you are:
• A child or youth (21 and under) participating
in an indoor registered or general
admission recreation activity or sport
• An adult (22 and older) coach, volunteer
or parent/caregiver who is required for an
indoor child or youth activity or sport
• Participating in an aquatics program or
general swim
• Participating in public skate
• A person 11 and under
Private contracted security personnel will
be in place at RDCK recreation facilities as
of September 13 to check users’ proof of vaccination
and proof of identity prior to entry.
Users of recreation facilities will be asked to
follow signage and direction from staff to
allow for safe participation in programs and
classes.
Pre-registration for fitness centres and
pools will continue until further notice.
Time-based memberships and punch-passes
are not being offered at this time. Some amenities
may not be available at all facilities, or
there may be limitations to their use.
“We are trying to make this new process
as seamless and efficient as possible,
although it will take a bit more time for
people to access our facilities—so please be
patient when you arrive, follow signage and
follow direction from staff,” said Chirico.
“On behalf of the Recreation team, thank
you for your cooperation and understanding,
and for helping us keep each other safe.”
