Valued members and students,

You’ve likely heard the news that Nova Scotia will NOT be moving into Phase 5 of its Reopening Plan on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, as was previously hoped. As we are still in Phase 4 until at least Monday, October 4, 2021, we will be continuing with our current restrictions with two exceptions in Halifax:

• Buffer lanes will be removed from the pool allowing for additional appointments
• Sexton Gym will be opening in a modified format – see below for additional details

• The weight and cardio room will be opening for appointments.
• Fitness classes will begin in the fitness studio with appointments required. A class schedule will be posted in the coming days.
• The locker rooms will be open with access to showers and day use lockers.
• Masks continue to be required at all times except while engaged in physical activity.
• The gymnasium will not be available for drop-in activities.

Vaccination

As announced during the September 8, 2021 Nova Scotia COVID-19 briefing, proof of full vaccination will be required for those 12 or older to use a fitness facility starting October 4, 2021. Stay tuned for details on how we will be managing the proof of vaccine policy.
