Welcome back everyone! We thought it was a good idea to remind everyone and to go over the new rules for entrance into the Lou Jeffries Arena.
GMHA will have a volunteer(s) at the main entrance of the arena to check vaccination status as you enter.
Arena doors will be opened thirty (30) minutes prior to the booking time to allow GMHA and users to enter the facility. Groups are encouraged to meet outside
and all be ready to enter at exactly 30 minutes prior to the ice time booking. Doors will
be immediately locked at the booking time.
To enter the arena the you must do/complete the following three things:
1. Proof of Vaccination is still required for ages 12 and older. This includes coaches, officials, volunteers and players.People must now show the Enhanced Vaccination Certificate with QR code either digitally (ie on your phone, tablet or iPad) or by printed certificate along with one piece of valid photo I.D. The QR code will be scanned, for authenticity and verification purposes, using the Verify Ontario App by the volunteer. Vaccine certificates with no QR Code, will not be accepted
2. Prior to entry to the arena you must complete the COVID-19 Self Assesment. To access the self assesment tool please go to the following link https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/. To help out our GMHA and visiting families we replaced the on-line "COVID Check In" tool with "COVID-19 Self Assesment" tool which links directly to the provinces self assesment screening site. Simply click on the red square and you will be directed to the Ontario Government site.
3. You must show your proof of the completed screening tool to the volunteer at the door for entry. After you complete the self assesment you are given the following options: email to self, save as a PDF, print the report, or take a screen shot of the page clearly showing that they have screened on that day.
