Update #1 - September 19, 2021

Hello Valued Arena Users,

Since our last update, more information on the Government of Alberta’s Restrictions Exemption Program has become available and we have to make a change to our below communication.

To comply with WinSport’s requirements, all members 16 years of age and older must provide photo ID, along with one of the following (for individuals 12 to 15 years of age will not be required to provide photo ID, but will be required to provide the following):

• Proof of vaccination* (single dose accepted between September 20 and October 25 if received 2 weeks before entering the facility; double doses required after October 25) • Proof of a privately paid negative PCR or rapid test within 72 hours of entering the facility (tests from AHS or Alberta Precision Laboratories not allowed). [NOTE: Those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons must provide a negative test to ensure the safety of all participants and staff. WinSport does not require proof of medical exemption.] Contrary to our last communication, this includes support people that are helping children get ready for their ice time.

At this time, to sit in the stands you do not require proof of vaccination. The stands be limited to 1/3 capacity. No group gatherings are permitted in the stands, so please ensure your spectators are not gathering in the stands and are only sitting with members of their own household. As we refine our system for checking vaccines and negative testing, we will look to expand the testing to include our stands, but again at this time it is not required and there are restrictions on this area.

Starting Monday, September 20th, 2021, anyone 12+ entering arena level (including support people) will need to show their proof of vaccination or proof or a privately paid negative PCR/rapid test to WinSport Security. Please advise your participants to come with plenty of time, as this is a new system for us. We will be doing our best to ensure everyone gains access to the facility in a timely fashion.

Please be respectful be respectful to all WinSport staff, they are doing their part to keep people safe and the arena operating and there will be zero tolerance for disrespectful behaviour.

Thank you,

Update #2 - September 20, 2021

Hello Valued Arena Users,

Apologies for sending another update, but I wanted to notify everyone that we have expanded the area of our facility that falls under the Government of Alberta’s Restrictions Exemption Program.

Effective immediately anyone accessing the arenas including spectators who are 16 years of age and older must provide photo ID, along with one of the following (individuals 12 to 15 years of age will not be required to provide photo ID, but will be required to provide the following):

Please remember Masking is still required everywhere in the building, including the viewing areas.

Thank you,
