Outdoors

ENTERING THE RINK

• ALL facility guidelines must be followed. We have a zero tolerance policy.
• Parents are not permitted in the rink
• Masks should be worn when entering and exiting the rink but are not

mandatory on ice.

• It is good practice to clean your hands before and after touching common

surfaces to minimize the spreading of germs. For example, when you enter the rink and touch the door.

• The skater must sign in when entering the rink (all ages)
• The skater must answer the symptom questionnaire with your coach. This is

available on the BSC website.

• The skater must enter and exit using the wayfinding arrows provided by the

facility.

• The skater must maintain a 6 foot physical distance from others at all times.

ON THE ICE

bag’ or on their section of the boards

• Their coach will notify the skater of their section of the boards

where they will keep their things and go to rest, get a drink, etc.

• Skaters are permitted to use the entire ice but MUST maintain a 6

foot physical distance

• There will be no group lessons
• There will be no stroking sessions

IF YOU HAVE TO….

• Take your gloves off to blow your nose.
• Blow your nose
• Immediately dispose of the tissues. Preferably in your own

‘provided from home’ ziplock bag. If not, in the facility garbage can in which case you will have to use the wayfinding arrows for exit and re-entry. This could be time consuming.

• You then have to sanitize your hands.
• You can now put your gloves back on.

the wayfinding arrows in the facility. In some facilities you can only walk in one direction.

COVID-19, the skater will receive a full refund (unsure of this also)

COVID-19 PROCEDURES

“If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 at SCNS/BSC , our procedure includes:

• Stop skating sessions and advise the rink so they

can disinfect areas as needed;

• Send skaters, coaches, and volunteers home

who came in close contact with the individual; remind them to self-monitor (or self-isolate if they have a high-risk household resident), and inform them a SCNS/BSC representative will be in touch with further information

• Contact 811, proceed as directed, and

communicate with coaches as appropriate.”
