Indoor group physical activities suspended in Campbell River

While going for a skate may be a tradition for many Campbell Riverites this time of year, that tradition is being put on hold.

With new provincial health orders now in place, the Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River are temporarily suspending all indoor group physical activities.

Effective immediately, all Strathcona Gardens registered group ice programming, including public skating, is temporarily suspended. Other programs cancelled include all aquatic fitness classes and all rehabilitation classes.

However, Strathcona Gardens will continue to offer private one-on-one fitness sessions, private skating sessions, and lane swimming with safe physical distance maintained.  

Over at the Sportsplex and Community Centre, all indoor fitness classes are cancelled, but the weight room is still open.

And, at this time, amateur sport and group activities following viaSport phase 3 guidelines continue.

In place of the 9:00 am classes that were scheduled for this week, the City’s recreation department will provide Facebook LIVE classes instead.

You’re encouraged to join Triple SSS with Jen (Strength, Stability, Stretch) today, Yoga with Cindy tomorrow, and Pump it up! with Sally on Friday. To join, find the Recreation and Culture Department, City of Campbell River on Facebook, and follow along.  

Both the City and Strathcona Regional District appreciate the community’s patience and support as service levels are adjusted to comply with the evolving public health requirements. As new information becomes available, details will be posted to www.strathconagardens.com/covid-19 and www.campbellriver.ca /covid-19.
