An invitation will be sent for our AGM and we look forward to seeing you all in the fall for the 2021/22 season.

How Enhanced Measures Impact The Club:
- No Access to residents of other zones with Enhanced Restrictions: We are not permitted to host residents from other zones with Enhanced Restrictions in place.
-
Learn 2 Curl Public Nights (Tuesdays) are cancelled until further notice due to the random/transient nature of its participant base.
- Bar Sales Restriction: Due to the Enhanced Restrictions, and our Class B licence, we are to stop the sale of alcohol at 10pm until further notice.
In a nutshell, what is the BCC doing to keep its members and staff safe?
- Facility is closed to the public. Only BCC members, pre-registered program/event participants, Youth Club parent/guardian (ie. chaperone), and staff are permitted to access the Curling Club.
- No spectators. While spectators (ie. friends/family) have not been attending the facility, until further notice, spectators will not be permitted to attend the facility until further notice. This is to limit the number of transient community members in the facility.
- Frequent Cleaning and Sanitizing. BCC and Fenlands staff are diligent in their cleaning/sanitizing efforts throughout the facility. All surfaces are sanitized between use (ie between draws, or between programs), and at the end of the night. Equipment is being quarantined and sanitized between use.
- Wearing Masks. Masks are mandatory throughout the Fenlands facility, and are strongly recommended on the ice. "My mask protects you. Your mask protects me". We request that masks are worn during play, but option while sweeping.
