The Province of Manitoba announced that they will move forward with the first “milestones” of their re-opening path. The new public health orders will take effect on Saturday, June 26, and it is our understanding that they will be in place for the entire month of July.
The press release (available here) noted the following changes:
- public outdoor gathering sizes to increase to 25 persons;
- outdoor dance, music and theatre classes and other organized sport and recreation activities may reopen for groups up to 25 people, with no tournaments allowed
We must wait for the final wording of the Health Orders in order to get clarity on:
- the specifics of competitions vs. tournaments
- whether we will be able to schedule any form of competition in July
We are also in the process of working with the University of MB to determine:
- when we will be able to resume our Exclusive Use training times
- what the overall facility capacity will be, and if there will be any additional restrictions/guidelines
In the meantime – Clubs and training groups can plan to resume training in public spaces, in groups and with your coaches, as of June 26th. As long as you follow the group size restrictions AND CONTINUE TO FOLLOW PHYSICAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS and all other previously established return to sport protocols from the national Back on Track guidelines.
