Dear Members and Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of Members,

As you are likely aware, the Province of Ontario has mandated that effective WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 businesses, such as the Club, must now obtain proof of vaccination before permitting access to members. Here's what you need to know:

1. First, this mandate only applies to those over 18 years of age who are entering the Club. For those under the age of 18, proof of vaccination is NOT required (pursuant to the exemption under section 2.1 (6) (b) of O. Reg 645/21: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/R21645)
2. For those 18 and over, before entering the premises, the member must provide the Club with (i) proof of identity and (ii) of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19;
3. The Ministry of Health is in the process of developing a vaccination app. In the interim, the member must provide the Club with their "vaccination receipt" (either in paper of digital format) showing they are fully vaccinated (as defined below), in addition to proof of identity. For proof of identity government identification can be used, as well as a document issued by a recognized institution or public body, but it must include your name and date of birth.
Please note there are other exemptions and that you should contact the Executive Director by email (via info@gymmississauga.org for recreational programs or comp@gymmississauga.org for competitive programs) in advance of your attendance if you think an exemption may be applicable to you.

Fully vaccinated against COVID-19 means: if,
(a) they have received,
(i) the full series of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or any combination of such vaccines,
(ii) one or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada, followed by one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or
(iii) three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada; and

(b) they received their final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before providing the proof of being fully vaccinated.

Please Note: Parents are still not allowed into the building/facility at this time. However, we will coordinate our efforts with the City of Mississauga and the PFFC, and we will communicate any changes as they arise.
