Alberta has declared a state of public health emergency. COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise, largely in unvaccinated Albertans. New measures to protect the health care system, stop the spread, and increase vaccination rates come into effect starting September 16.
Starting September 16, fitness facilities must implement the Restrictions Exemption Program requiring proof of vaccination or negative rapid test result to continue operating as usual.
All visitors (ages 12 and over) must provide one of the following to enter City Fit Shop.
- proof of vaccination
- single dose accepted between September 20 and October 25 if received 2 weeks before time of service
- double doses required after October 25
- documentation of a medical exemption
- proof of a privately-paid negative PCR or rapid test within 72 hours of service (tests from AHS or Alberta Precision Laboratories not allowed)
NEXT STEPS FOR YOU
- Members only have to show proof of vaccination once and it will be saved on their account.
- For those who are not medically eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, we will accept a medical exemption doctor’s note stating that you should not be vaccinated.
City Fit Shop will be complying with all AHS Guidelines and City Of Edmonton Bylaws.
We have been open since the beginning of the pandemic and have thankfully not had a single outbreak in our facility. We are proud of our amazing coaches and staff for following all the guidelines, policies, and procedures we have in place to ensure the kids are safe.
