RECC Mask FAQ
Non-medical masks will be mandatory in indoor public places starting on July 31st.Q: Will the RECC have a mandatory mask policy in place?
A: Yes, in accordance with the Public Health Guidelines the RECC will require masks to be worn at all times within the facility.
The only times masks can be removed are:
-ONLY when you are actively working out ( Masks MUST be worn between stations and equipment in the gym, when at rest, or recovering)
-during group fitness classes ( Masks must be worn until the class starts and you are safely distanced from other participants )
-skating/swimming (Masks must be worn until proceeding to the ice surface/pool deck)
Q: How will this be enforced?
A: We are taking a cooperative and positive approach to mandatory masking rather than an enforcement one. We have confidence that the vast majority of our Members will wear a mask whenever possible. People should also be aware that businesses have the right to refuse them entry or to serve them if they do not follow the rules. Allowances will be made for people unable to wear a mask for a valid reason. Please ensure you are following the rules as posted throughout the facility in regards to masks, distancing, as well as following directional signage.
Q: Can you take your mask off to have a photo taken?
A: Yes, a business requiring photos to be taken will instruct you when it is safe and appropriate to remove your mask in order to obtain a photo for identification purposes. Physical distancing must be maintained while the photo is being taken.
Q: Who does a member complain to if they feel that other members are not following the rules?
A: Members should advise RECC staff if they feel that someone should be wearing a mask that is not. Keeping in mind there are medical conditions that hinder some people's ability to wear masks. If you are uncomfortable with advising anyone in person feel free to send us an email to social@ratheastlnkcc.ca and we can investigate.
Q: What happens if someone refuses to put on a mask or takes it off once they go inside? Can they be refused service or asked to leave?
A: Businesses, workplaces and other public places can develop their own policies and procedures. They can choose to refuse entry or service to anyone not following their rules.
