Covid-19 Update – February 16th

We are open! Nous sommes ouvertes!

Sudbury District has been designated Orange – Restrict.  The Ontario government has redefined the colour coded system, and as a result, the Orange-Restrict is now essentially the new yellow.  After careful review, we have determined that the restrictions for us are precisely the same as when we were in Yellow – Protect last fall.  Class sizes are restricted to 10 participants per room per class, and members are required to pre-register for classes. (See below for registration help.)  We ask that you monitor yourself for symptoms. Please use this tool to pre-screen before you attend our academy, and we ask that you stay home if you have any symptoms or have been at risk of exposure. Masks do not need to be worn while training on the mats. Due to Covid-19 regulations and restrictions, we ask that you exit the premises in a timely manner after your training/business at the academy has been concluded for the day. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this policy. 


Le district de Sudbury a été désigné Orange – Restreindre. Le gouvernement de l’Ontario a redéfini le système de codes de couleur et, par conséquent, Orange-Restreinder est maintenant essentiellement le nouveau jaune. Après un examen attentif, nous avons déterminé que les restrictions pour nous sont exactement les mêmes que lorsque nous étions dans Jaune – Protéger l’automne dernier. La taille des classes est limitée à 10 participants par salle et par classe, et les membres sont tenus de se préinscrire aux cours. (Voir ci-dessous pour l’aide à l’enregistrement.) Nous vous demandons de vous surveiller pour les symptômes. Veuillez utiliser cet outil pour effectuer un pré-dépistage avant de vous rendre à notre académie, et nous vous demandons de rester à la maison si vous présentez des symptômes ou avez été à risque d’exposition. Il n’est pas nécessaire de porter les masques pendant l’entraînement sur les tapis. En raison de la réglementation et des restrictions Covid-19, nous vous demandons de quitter les locaux en temps opportun après la fin de votre l’ entraînement/enterprise à l’académie pour la journée. Nous sommes heureux de répondre à toutes vos questions concernant cette politique.
