GMHA RETURN TO PLAY PROTOCOLS FOR PARENTS & PLAYERS
Pre-Screening:
- ALL Players, parents/guardians/volunteers who enter the arena are required to pre-screen one hour prior to arriving at the Lou Jeffries Arena. The COVID 19-Entry form, to be completed each time you enter the arena, is available online or a hardcopy can be obtained at the rink and kept with the player for entry verification each time.
- If a player has not completed the online assessment or have a hard copy with them, they will have to complete one prior to signing in.
- When entering all players/parents/guardians/volunteers are required to ensure they sign the contract tracing sheet for their session and a contact number must be provided.
- Session Tracking forms will be copied (scan/picture) and sent to the GMHA vice-president and then given to a Gananoque &TLTI Facilities employee
