The Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre will be open as of 6:30 am on Tuesday October 5, 2021.

The facility will resume operations under the province’s Restriction Exemption Program (REP). By implementing the REP we are able to continue to offer both Youth and Adult group sport and activities at a full capacity.

For the REP to be met the Town of Hinton has chosen to contract outside sources to provide on-site screening and regulation for facility admittance.

Under this program all patrons attending the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre will be required to meet the following parameters:

0 – 11 Year Age Group

• Building Sign-in / screen for COVID symptoms

• Mandatory masking (for ages 2+)

12 – 17 year age group (Youth)

• Building Sign-in / screen for COVID symptoms

• Mandatory masking

• Verifying reason for entry: active participation and/or spectating

• Active participation: entry without further verification

• Spectating or both: 

  • verification of proof of vaccination, 

  • negative PCR COVID test within the last 72 hours, or 

  • medical exemption for vaccination eligibility

18 years and older (Adults)

• Building Sign in / screen for COVID symptoms

• Mandatory masking

• Provide verification of: 

  • proof of vaccination, 

  • negative PCR COVID test within the last 72 hours, or 

  • medical exemption for vaccination eligibility

• Verification of I.D.

If you are unable to meet the parameters listed above, you will not be granted access to the facility.

With the implementation of the REP, we have seen a slight increase in congestion at the facility entrance. To assist in alleviating this issue we ask that all patrons arrive with all of their documents out and ready to be presented to our security personnel. We ask that you be patient and respectful to all Recreation Centre staff for the duration of the program and beyond. Disrespectful, abusive, and aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated towards anyone in our facility.

Thank you for your patience and understanding and your efforts in keeping our staff and services safe during these times.
