It has been almost a month since the Provincial Vaccination Policy/Phase 5 came into effect but wanted to send a few reminders to everyone of the following:

·        Players and Coaches can enter the facilities 30 minutes prior to ice time start

·        Masks are required everywhere in the facilities, except for when participating in an activity.

·        All spectators are required to keep their mask on at all times. There is no food or beverage permitted in the arena or gymnasium.

·        All players, coaches, timekeepers, spectators, and anyone else associated with your rental must have proof of vaccination and ID with them to enter the building. The facilities have the right to ask for proof of vaccination and proof of age at any time.

Also please note the below updates specific to Rinks :

HRM 4 Pad - Bedford (BMO) & RBC Centre - Dartmouth

·        As of November 1, 2021, all participants (including spectators) are to use the main entrance, there will no longer be rink specific entrances.

·        All spectators will not be permitted building access until 10 minutes prior to the start of the rental.

Zatzman Sportsplex

·        Arena spectators will now access the facility through the main entrance and our staff/security will be checking their proof of vaccination before they enter.

Please see below message from Hockey Nova Scotia sent out this afternoon

Good afternoon everyone,

On the advice of Nova Scotia Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang, Hockey Nova Scotia will continue to prohibit teams from travelling to communities in New Brunswick located in zones affected by circuit breaker measures.

As an update to our Oct. 7 communication regarding travel to New Brunswick, we wanted to let you know that the circuit breaker measures that have been in effect in some areas since Friday, Oct. 8 have been extended until at least Friday, Oct. 29. Please note these measures could be extended into November.

These areas include Zone 1 (Moncton region) as far north as and including Sainte-Anne-de-Kent and including Havelock in Zone 2; the northern portion of Zone 3 from and including Deerville and Florenceville-Bristol, but excluding Hayesville and Parker Ridge; and all of Zone 4 (Edmundston region).

Late last week, it was announced that Zone 5 (Campbellton region) will also enter a 14-day circuit breaker beginning on Friday, Oct. 22.

A detailed breakdown of the areas of New Brunswick impacted by these measures can be found by clicking here.

We expect that New Brunswick Public Health will provide more information later this week on their restrictions. We will provide an update if anything changes.

Thank you for all that you do. 

Sincerely,

Amy Walsh
