FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, Sept. 13, 2021
 
In response to stopping the continued spread of COVID-19, effective today, the Province of BC requires that people show proof of vaccination to participate or attend non-essential indoor programs and events in City facilities.
 
Adults 22 years of age and up are required to show their BC Vaccine Card and provincial government photo ID to access City recreation facilities, including all indoor areas such as lobbies, lounges, program rooms, gyms, fitness studios, pools, and rinks. Youth spectators 12 to 21 years will be required to show their BC Vaccine Card; no provincial photo ID is needed.
 
Please refer to westkelownacity.ca/covid-19 for a complete list of facilities and recreation programs affected and be prepared to show proof of vaccination on arrival.
 
As we comply with the recent Provincial Health Orders and WorkSafeBC regulations, we appreciate the cooperation of attendees, participants and spectators with City staff and contractors.
 
Exceptions to the vaccination card rule include:
  • Children ages 11 and under
  • Recreation participants ages 12 to 21 years
  • Those participating in youth sport (21 years or age and younger) for practice or training, including essential personnel (coaches, volunteers, teachers, instructors, and referees)
Please also:
  • Stay home if you are sick
  • Wear masks indoors when not in the field of play
  • Sanitize hands when entering and leaving our facilities and programs
  • Maintain safe social distancing
We will remain flexible and work together with the community over the weeks and months ahead to implement all Provincial Health Orders. Please help us keep our programs running and facilities operating safely without interruption in response to COVID-19, and to keep our community safe.
 
For more information on the Province of BC’s vaccine proof requirements, visit gov.bc.ca/vaccinecard. Learn more about the updated Provincial Health Officer’s Order for Gatherings and Events.
