Keeping You Safe Indoors
Facility access and activities have been modified to ensure safe distancing, hand hygiene, reduced touchpoints and other health precautions. For example, only people with registered timeslots will be able to enter, different entrances are assigned to each activity, and users will be asked to not loiter and to leave promptly after finishing their activity.
Signs, floor markings and facility staff will provide guidance at the sites, and further details and maps can be found at www.coquitlam.ca/registration.
Each site has a safety plan including:
- Staff training
- Using appointments and registration to control access
- Physical alterations to ensure distancing, such as Plexiglas barriers, signs and floor markings
- Changing practices and programs to reduce touchpoints and ensure distancing
- Limiting group sizes and adjusting locations as necessary
The City’s plans are flexible – they may be scaled back or modified to protect public health.
