Southwestern Health Unit moves to Yellow-Protect

The entire Southwestern Public Health region will be moved to the Yellow-Protect tier at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, November 16. The measures in this stage are meant to reduce the number of cases. It is expected this stage will remain in effect for at least 28 days.

This move to Yellow-Protect impacts the Woodstock Badminton Club.

The new restrictions only allow 10 persons to utilize the facility at a time. In order to manage this limitation, WBC has implemented a reservation (booking) tool on the web site, The web site allows members to reserve one of the 10 available slots for a given time period.

All the regular open play sessions remain scheduled. However, only 10 members may attend any given session. For the popular Tuesday and Thursday nights sessions we have two, 2 hour open play events each evening. Members should select to play in only one of these sessions each night.

Members may continue to use the club in off-hours. The reservation tool allows members to reserve one of the available 1 hour “person” time slots. You may however book two consecutive one hour time slots.

Booking of time slots is on a first come basis. We are providing some limits on how many time slots a member can book. The free reservation tool we are using only allows us to control bookings to a certain degree, thus we are asking members to share the popular time slots with other members.
