It is very likely that COVID-19 safety protocols will be in effect during the Fall and Winter time periods. This will make our programs run a bit differently than in the past. As it stands today, we do not know when FSNSC or any other public groups will be granted access to the West Rivers Edge building by the City of Fort Saskatchewan (normally FSNSC rents the basement of the WRE building starting on September 1st). For this reason, all items listed on our calendar of events are tentative and may be rescheduled. In any case, cross country skiing and dryland training are quite well suited to provide a socially distanced environment so this is much easier for us to manage than most other sports. Some of the items we are considering to implement are: - Following all mandated protocols from Alberta Health Services, the City of Fort Saskatchewan, Nordiq Canada, Cross Country Alberta. This includes the use of COVID-19 health questionnaires. - Keep class sizes and training groups very small. - Utilize food handling protocols to minimize risks with food consumption OR eliminate all food and snack breaks. - Make use of the lower level for people to get ready for skiing or segregate certain classes to upstairs or downstairs only. - Require everyone to wear face masks when inside a building. The FSNSC Board has not made any firm decisions on how to manage the COVID-19 risks for the upcoming season yet and I expect our plans will evolve over time. However, maintaining everyone’s health and safety is a high priority for us and I commit to keep you informed as we build our plans for the upcoming season.
