The following classes are excluded from punch cards: Strength in Motion, Low Impact Aerobics, Simply Stretching and Keep Moving with Parkinson’s).

If anyone asks, please let them know they will be receiving their credits with an email update to follow ASAP (hoping by the end of the week).
The City of Thunder Bay mask mandate will now be replaced by a strong masking recommendation effective Monday, May 2, for most areas of the Corporation. Direction from the Chief Medical Officer of Health for Ontario continues to require masking in Long Term Care and public facing areas of Transit. While each of you may make the decision that is best for you, we do strongly recommend wearing a mask as an added layer of protection at this time.
Individuals who develop COVID-19 symptoms, test positive, or are identified as a close contact have additional masking requirements.
· Individuals identified as close contacts are to wear a well-fitted mask, physical distance and maintain other public health measures for 10 days following their last exposure. (Note: Household contacts would have ongoing exposure until the end of the symptomatic/positive individual’s isolation period. This means a household members last exposure date is the last day of the individual’s isolation period (i.e. if the symptomatic/positive individual has to isolate for 5 days, the household close contact is to wear a mask in public settings for the 5 days during the individuals isolation period, plus an additional 10 days, for a total of 15 days)).
· Individuals who have COVID-19 symptoms or test positive are to wear a well-fitted mask for a total of 10 days after the date they tested positive or developed symptom (whichever is earlier/applicable).
Thank you for your patience and compliance as we navigate the changes the pandemic brings. Please continue to practice respect in all your interactions as we all have differently levels of comfort.
