Health Updates

The Government of BC has made two major announcements in late-August regarding a) mandated use of masks and b) providing proof of vaccination in public, indoor spaces.

• Both orders do not apply to children under the age of 12.
• Proof of vaccination does not apply to youth recreation.

We are still determining exactly how these two new provincial health orders will affect Fall programs beginning this October. Please note that CAN continues to recommend the use of masks for all individuals involved in CAN programming — both indoor and outdoor.

We will update all members registered for Fall on the exact measures required for each specific program environment in the weeks leading up to their first session.

Safety Protocols for COVID-19: What to Expect

We are gradually re-introducing Family Experiences. Our safety protocols are detailed in full in our 8-page Safety Plan.

All families must read the full document and agree to the protocols before their enrollment is confirmed in any CAN Family Experience.

As expected, our upcoming year will look much different due to the safety, financial and logistical challenges created by COVID-19.

As we approach Phase 4 of the CAN Restart Plan:

• In-person programming scales resumes to pre-COVID levels with safety protocols in place (eg. Kelowna, Nanaimo and other areas as funding allows)
• All pre-COVID programs resume
• Limited virtual program offerings for members who prefer the platform and in remote communities
• Large fundraising and third-party events resume pending local health orders
