A Note to Members
Re: Personal gatherings and “Steady 10” relating to our “Members Ice Time” program.
Personal Gatherings: When you curl in a group of “up to 8” (as per our current club operations guidelines) during our ‘Members’ Ice Time’ with others (vs independently) it is considered a “personal gathering”.
As defined by CPHO:
“Personal gatherings are limited to 10 people plus household members; this is a ‘steady’ 10 people and should not be 10 different people each day.” -CPHO
So basically CPHO (with the goal of public safety and “intent to minimize contacts”) would like you to pick ten people, in addition to your household, to spend time with at “personal gatherings” overall all in life.
How that relates to curling:
As mentioned, curling with up to 8 curlers is considered a “personal gathering”. Who you curl with should be a part of your LIFE “steady ten”.
The intention of this guideline is to allow families or very close personal friends (that you have identified as your “steady ten” cohort in life) to share a sheet of ice.
From CPHO:
“Activities with up to a steady 10 personal gathering limit permitted (e.g. family going bowling, or curling) – recognizing the intent of the current measures is to minimize contacts.”
To summarize:
The intent is to allow activity on the ice for exercise and mental health benefits in one of two segments/options:
1. Independent actively: one person, one sheet of ice.
or
2. Steady 10 personal gathering activity : One sheet of ice with up to 8 people who are a part of your “steady ten “ personal bubble cohort. This steady ten is not related to just a curling group steady 10, but your life overall.
We have many members that are couples, or families, multi-generational family members, and/or have very good close personal friends in their “steady ten”.
These groups are what the booking for up to 8 people per sheet is intended for.
We are very happy that the majority of our members understand these conditions and many have taken the time to book ice under the guidelines in order to stay active and #keepcurling.
We do also understand that, as with any new measures or program in these unusual times, we may have to provide reminders or further explanation of such guidelines.
