FACILITY Re-opening Plan

Our re-opening following easing of the COVID-19 restrictions will occur in phases, timed in sync with the stages of the province’s relaunch strategy.

The Ketchamoot Creek facility re-opened to Phase 1 on May 19. Phase 2 occurred on June 15.

We are currently at Phase 2.

Campground open for use. Members in a site must be from the same household.
Walking trails open for use.
Fish pond open for use.
Black powder trail open for use.
Firearm and archery ranges open at 50% capacity (i.e. use every other shooting position).
No registration list , but we will begin our re-opening with volunteer supervision to ensure compliance with physical distancing and disinfection requirements, along with spot checks using the camera system. This isn’t because we don’t trust you to comply (on the contrary: we think you’ll do just fine), this is us doing our part to ensure everyone stays safe and that we do don’t end up being ordered to close because of problems.
Some league events & courses will restart.
