| Dear Rady JCC Friends,
Last week we announced we will be reopening our doors to our fitness and aquatic centre on Monday, June 15, 2020. From now until our reopening, we plan to provide you with ongoing information on everything you will need to know for your eventual return.
In accordance with the provincial government, we are able to be in operation at a 50% maximum capacity on our fitness centre floor. We have set our maximum capacity to 70 people total at one time. Even though we do not require advanced bookings to enter our facility, we ask that you kindly limit your workouts to 90 minutes in consideration of others. While we do not anticipate this occurring, you may be asked to wait if we are at maximum capacity.
The safety and well-being of our members, staff, and volunteers is paramount with everything we implement. Although things may look a little bit different, the overall positive experience you expect to have at your Rady JCC will still be there.
Please note some other changes in advance of your return later this month:
Updated hours of operation:
Monday – Thursday
7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Friday
