**January 25, 2022

Hello Members and Parents

We have made the decision to reopen our club for Adult curling effective Monday morning, January 31st under the following modifications:

• Game play will be modified so that only 1 sweeper is allowed per rock at all times.
• Skip & Defensive sweeping is permitted
• Masks continue to be mandatory in all areas of the club, including during game play, at all times. The only exception is when seated at a table in the lounge AND actively drinking.
• The bar and coffee service will be open
• All games on Sheet 2 (middle sheet) should begin at the far end – near the scoreboard. This will provide additional distancing between teams on alternate sheets.
• Water coolers in the ice-shed area will be removed.
• Practice Ice will be available during the day as before. Please check the website calendar for times.
• The Lounge and warm areas of the club are limited to 51 people max.

As mentioned, all Adult day and evening leagues are open for play as of the morning of January 31st 2022.  Watch for schedules from your league convenors as appropriate.  Our January Learn-to-Curl session will begin on Saturday February 5^th, 2022 

Our Little Rock (7-12) and Youth/Bantam (12 years old and up) will be paused for the time being and re-evaluated regularly.  Parents and members of those programs will be notified as the situation evolves. 

As a result of the recent closure/lockdown, we will be extending our regular league play into mid-April and postponing our Grand Spiel event until next year.  This will allow leagues to continue league play up until (and including) April 14^th.  

We will re-evaluate, adjust and communicate any changes in our regulations and game play rules as we move into the next phase of the provincial re-opening plan that is scheduled for February 21^st. 

As always, please let any member of the board know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your continuing understanding and support as we deal with the ongoing challenges this pandemic presents.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors,

Manotick Curling Centre

Last season was a challenging one for many and those challenges extended well beyond curling.   With the recent and current improvements in COVID-19 cases, mass vaccinations and continued adherence to Public Health guidelines, we are looking forward to a 2021/2022 season that is much more “typical” with respect to curling.  Back to regular draws, regular games, full-teams, 2 sweepers and back-to-normal curling rules!  Of course, we will continue to take guidance from regulatory bodies concerning return-to-play and COVID-19 protocols, however we are happy to announce that we are assuming a full reopening at this time.   

So with that in mind…we welcome you to register your spot and your teams now.  We are anticipating a full schedule with near-capacity leagues so the sooner you sign-up the better.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and see you in October.  HURRY HARD!
