Club Temporary Closure – COVID-19 Third Wave

Don Karges Announcements, COVID-19

The Ontario government is imposing a province-wide “emergency brake”.  The measure comes into effect as of 12:01 a.m. on April 3, and will be in place for at least four weeks.

One of the restrictions announced as a result of this measure is that use of facilities for indoor sports and recreational fitness is prohibited.  Therefore, the Woodstock Badminton Club will be closed to all members starting Saturday until further notice.

We will cancel all pending reservations from April 3rd forward.

Club Re-opening after Lockdown

Don Karges Announcements, COVID-19

The provincial government has announced that the Southwestern health unit will be moving to the “Red – Control” alert status on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.  We expect that the region will remain in this status for two weeks. This announcement permits the Woodstock Badminton Club to re-open.

The club will open on Tuesday February 16th for singles play only.

The province is discouraging travel of  persons from high risk (red and grey) health zones to other  health zones.

Therefore, the only members that can utilize courts at this time are members that reside in the Southwestern health unit (zone) and members that reside in a health unit (zone) that is in orange, yellow or green alert status.

This approach is consistent with the restrictions that were in place before the lockdown in December when the club was not open to members outside of the Southwestern zone that resided  in red zones.

We look forwarding to welcoming back members as he provincial restrictions relax.
