LETHBRIDGE SKATING CLUB COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
As of August 7, 2020
The Lethbridge Skating Club will follow all COVID-19 related protocols/guidance documents outlined by: Skate Canada, Skate Canada: Alberta-NWT/Nunavut, Government of Canada, Province of Alberta, and the City of Lethbridge. Where there is a discrepancy in the protocols/policies, the stricter protocol will take precedent.
The following are the current protocols in place for all LSC programming. Please note these are subject to change.
At the beginning of each week of skating, each athlete, coach and ice level volunteer will need to sign the Skate Canada Assumption of Risk and Waiver, which is presented when you register through Uplifter. Participants will not be permitted on the ice surface until this form is completed.
Prior to every session, a coach or volunteer will conduct a verbal health screening with all participants. Overall results of this screening will be recorded onto a Contract Tracing Log, which the LSC will keep on file for 4 weeks. If a skater, coach or volunteer answers YES to any of the questions, they will not be permitted on the ice and will be asked to go home and visit the AHS Online Health Assessment Tool. A copy of the screening questions will be provided to skaters prior to their first session.
