Health & Safety

To prevent the spread of communicable diseases and protect children from bodily harm, here are the expectations we have for families participating in our events and programs:

• Do not attend programs and/or events if you, your child, or anyone in your immediate household is feeling unwell or running a fever

• Teach your children basic health etiquette, like covering their mouth/nose when they need to sneeze/cough and washing their hands immediately following - As well, teach them not to touch their face excessively.

• If your child discharges bodily fluids during an event or program (i.e. dirty diaper, scrape that is bleeding, runny nose, vomit etc.), please note you will need to take full responsibility for clean up. While we do have incredible volunteers, this is not part of their role.

• Please cover rashes and open sores.

• Please tie-up or braid long hair on children

• Smoking and/or vaping is not allowed anywhere on the property where meet ups and events are taking place

• If your child becomes ill within 24 hours of a meeting or event and they are diagnosed with a communicable disease, please contact the director as a courtesy (your identity will be kept confidential, but the information you share may be used to assist other families to monitor and protect the health of their children)

• Please inform your children, in advance of every program and/or event, that they are never to be alone with any other parent or volunteer for any reason. Please do not give your child permission to be outside of your vision of supervision.

Please note: While we understand pollen allergies are a real challenge for many families, we are not able to host participants who are excessively sneezing, coughing or discharging mucus.
