Returning Safely to Sport & Physical Activity
At I·SPARC, we recognize the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic within Indigenous communities as participation in sport and physical activity is vital to our individual and collective wellness. Sport and physical activities have been able to resume. Restarting sport or physical activity programming is not mandatory and we respect that Indigenous communities and organizations will be in varying stages of readiness to engage in a return to activity.
Current guidance from the Office of the Public Health Officer:
- All sport activities are allowed.
- Proof of vaccination is no longer required for sport activities and programs.
- Communities/event organizers can choose to continue requiring proof of vaccination for entry.
- Businesses, organizations and facilities no longer need a COVID-19 safety plan. They must follow communicable disease guidance from WorkSafeBC.
- Wearing masks in public indoor settings is not required by public health. Wearing a mask is a personal choice.
- Communities, facilities and event organizers can choose to continue requiring masks on their premises. It’s important that we respect these choices.
I·SPARC will work collaboratively with its partners and host communities to develop specific program delivery plans that meet the highest health and safety standards.
