- Each youth will be assigned a specific section of the hall or gym space to promote physical distancing between participants. Youth will be encouraged to stay in their specific area as much as possible.
- Engaging activities will be planned to meet the unique interests of the youth attending.
- Washrooms are available for participants to use one at a time.
- For the safety of everyone involved, youth and staff are asked to wear masks while in the program, are required to sanitize/wash their hands regularly, and complete health screening prior to entry into the program.
- Youth will be required to complete a wellness check online within one hour of attending the program and temperatures will be taken at the entrance.
- Contact information for all youth attending the program is required at the time of booking via Eventbrite. This information will be shared with partners we are renting space from and/or Public Health as required.
