COVID-19 GUIDELINES
Outdoor Impact programs are up and running, while adhering to guidelines from the Province of Ontario. Since the summer of 2020, we have implemented additional measures to ensure a safe environment for participants, volunteers, and staff. We will keep this page updated with any new information or changes, as mandated by Ontario Public Health. The safety of our community is our primary focus, and we will always be honest and transparent about what we’re dealing with.
The Latest
In the interest minimizing risk of transmission, we have required that all staff members be vaccinated.
• If you are sick: please stay home! Participants who test positive for Covid-19 must be excluded from the program until they test negative twice within 48 hours.
• Program capacity – To ensure an adequate staff-to-participant ratio, we are accepting 16 children per class for indoor programs, 20 for outdoor weekend programs, and 30 per session for summer camp. These numbers are subject to change.
• Masks/face-coverings – For upcoming programs, masks will not be required. We recommend bringing masks for use in indoor spaces (restrooms, TTC vehicles). If public health guidelines change, we will adhere to any necessary changes.
• Hand washing and sanitizing protocols – We recommend that all participants carry their own hand sanitizer and use it as needed, before and after programs, and anytime hand-contact is made with a potentially contaminated surface.
• "Hands-off" approach to instruction – Impact staff will keep physical support to participants to a minimum. Please consider whether this will suit your child's age and temperament.
As we have seen throughout the pandemic, the rules change as the situation changes. We are committed to prioritizing the health and wellbeing of participants, volunteers, and staff, and ensuring everyone has an awesome experience, despite of the challenging circumstances!
