City of Ottawa Recreation Update

 

Registration cancelled
 
Registration for fall recreation programs is officially cancelled. We are excited to be working on an updated schedule for the new year. Be sure to look out for our winter programs later this year!
 
Closures and restrictions
 
New provincial restrictions came into effect last Saturday and are in place for 28 days. Fitness centres, including cardio and weight rooms are closed, and fitness classes including aquafit have been suspended. Team sports using City facilities will be limited to training and drills, with no scrimmages or competitive play permitted. Squash and racquetball are currently on hold due to the close proximity of players. A more detailed summary can be found at ottawa.ca.
 
Continuing programs
 
We are happy to announce that you can still enjoy some recreation activities. The new restrictions will not impact:
 
Don’t travel outside red zone for fitness or team play
 
Both the provincial government and public health authorities are asking all residents to limit travel – especially to locations that are situated outside the code-red area. To limit the risk of spreading COVID-19 to areas where case counts are low, people and sporting teams are urged not to travel to other cities or locations for team play or fitness activities. 
 
Museums and galleries 
 
Museums and galleries are open, however interactive exhibits are closed. 
 
Book Awards
 
The 2020 Ottawa Book Awards is going virtual and you are all invited! Sit back and enjoy the exciting virtual ceremony on October 21 at 6 pm and celebrate Ottawa’s top authors. Free registration is required.
