In response to the Government of Alberta's announcement of restrictions, we're implementing some changes to our operations and programs in compliance with the Restrictions Exemption Program.
As of November 1, 2021, proof of vaccination is required for any individuals and spectators above the age of 12 who want to access our facilities or programs. Those under age 12 do not need to provide proof of immunization to enter our facilities. These COVID-19 Screening Measures also apply to parents and spectators accompanying an individual to a Horns Recreation program, as well as Horns Recreation user groups including schools and community organizations. For specific details, visit the Restrictions Exemption Program page.
The Government of Alberta has launched a vaccine record service in order to obtain your vaccination QR code. A paper copy of your Alberta COVID-19 vaccination record with QR code is acceptable aas well for our community members. U of L members (students, faculty and staff) are required to continue to use the uLethbridge Safe app to attest that they meet the vaccination/rapid testing requirements to be on campus.
Wearing a mask is required anywhere that 2 metres of physical distance cannot be guaranteed. This means a mask is mandatory in hallways and common areas, except when you're engaging in physical activity. Once your physical activity is completed, masking is once again required.
Physical Distancing of 2 metres is required to be maintained at all times.
