Return to Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation
Premier Jason Kenney announced on Tuesday, June 9th that Alberta will be moving forward with Stage 2 of the provincial relaunch plan on June 12 — one week ahead of schedule. The initial target date for Stage 2 was set for June 19, however, Premier Kenney said due to low COVID-19 case numbers and continued cooperation by Albertans, the province is moving forward with the next phase of its relaunch plan beginning Friday.
Some activities originally planned for Stage 3 of the relaunch have also been moved forward to be incorporated in Stage 2, including indoor recreation, fitness and sports facilities which includes tennis activities.
In addition, Dr. Hinshaw provided additional clarity to Provincial Sport Organizations for resuming operations. As a result, please find some comments below on the Government of Alberta’s Return to Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation – STAGE 2 for Indoor sport, physical activity and recreation, which can be found at this link.
It is essential that members and program participants strictly adhere to the protocols put in place by Alberta Health Services to allow the continued phased resumption of tennis programming in this province. Please do your part by following public health measures.
>> PLEASE NOTE: All participants should check with their club for programming updates. Club administrators should verify the status of local health orders issued within your municipality by contacting your local municipal sports & recreation consultant.
With the reopening of tennis activities, you may resume doubles play, indoor and outdoor tennis and group lessons, provided public health measures are enforced.
This includes but is not limited to:
- Wellness screening protocols. All of our members will be subject to screening upon entry into a facility each time (prior to play).
- Maintaining physical distancing (2 metres at all times).
- Hand sanitization before, during and after play (frequent sanitization will help prevent the spread of COVID-19).
** Please note that NO provincial tournaments or programming is allowed at this time.
