As we want to ensure the health and safety of all our returning members and be mindful of the Government of Ontario guidelines, it is important to wear a mask at all times while on the premises (exception is eating or drinking in the MP1 room only), be vaccinated, respond to a few COVID/Delta questions, and maintain physical distancing of at least two metres.
