Dec 6, 2020 | 1:59 PM

The Town of Rocky Mountain House is working to provide residents with safe opportunities for recreation while enhanced COVID-19 public health restrictions are in place.

While all group classes and team sports have been suspended by the provincial State of Public Health Emergency, the Town will increase public skating and swimming times.

Users can pre-book their skate or swim time by calling Guest Services or the Credit Union Co-op Aquatic Centre, and household groups must stay socially distanced from each other while using Town facilities.

The maximum occupancy of 25% will be strictly enforced, as per provincial indoor fitness restrictions.

Group swimming lessons have been cancelled, but registrants will have the opportunity to finish the lesson set by private lesson for no additional cost.

Town administration is working with user groups and sport organizations to clearly understand the implications of the new restrictions, and are presenting options for continued use of Town facilities.

As well, seniors over the age of 75 are now eligible for a free annual Rocky Pass, which includes access to the fitness centre, aquafit and fitness classes.
