Twin Rivers Curling Club not expecting vaccine requirement to start season
Curling season is just around the corner, and as such, the Twin Rivers Curling Club is readying preparations for the return of the sport this fall.
Earlier this week, Curling Canada sent out a release stating a mandatory vaccine policy on the national level. However, while the new mandate will be in effect for national events, it will not affect curling clubs at the local level – at least for the time being.
“That’s just National tournaments, which have very large events and a lot of players come in from a lot of different places,” Twin Rivers general manager, Kathy McNinch said. “We have a much smaller group that comes here, so we will not be implementing that policy at the moment.”
Instead, the local club will continue to run operations in accordance with provincial guidelines. While vaccines and mask wearing will be optional until further notice, the club will continue their diligent cleaning regimen and disinfecting of surface areas, while also providing hand sanitizer stations again this year.
