COVID-19 cases continue to rise locally and provincially and the City of Belleville is taking steps to further reduce the possibility of spread.
The City of Belleville’s Recreation, Culture & Community Services department has put the following policy in place:
Visitors, participants, coaches and team personnel residing in an Orange (Restrict), Red (Control) or Grey (Lockdown) Zone shall not be permitted to use any Recreation, Culture & Community Services facility. This includes, but is not limited to: recreation and culture activities, rentals, City of Belleville-led initiatives at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre, Glanmore National Historic Site, Parkdale Community Centre and Community Archives.
The policy will take effect immediately and remain in effect until further notice.
The City of Belleville recognizes the importance of its recreational and cultural facilities and amenities and the role they play in helping to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle, not to mention positive mental health benefits. At this time, city staff feel they must do everything to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Visitors, participants and teams who are currently registered in a program or have a rental with the city and reside in an orange, red or grey zone will be eligible for a full credit/refund.
All others using the facilities are asked to comply with the new restrictions when registering for a course, booking a rental or visiting our facility.
“The health and safety of our community is our top priority. Making these entrance restriction changes in our Recreation, Culture & Community Services facilities will go a long way in reducing potential exposure to COVID-19 from higher risk areas,” said Mayor Mitch Panciuk.
“We thank everyone in advance for their understanding as we make this move to keep our community safe.”
