In light of the recent lifting of COVID-19 restrictions by Provincial/Territorial Governments and Local Public Health Authorities, Squash Canada has amended its COVID-19 Vaccination and Masking Policy effective April 25, 2022.
The following are the major changes to the policy:
Squash Canada will no longer require the wearing of a mask to play in or attend Squash Canada events and activities. However, in the interest of the health and safety of all, Squash Canada strongly recommends that all participants and attendees of Squash Canada events and activities wear a mask at all times inside the facility, unless the mask has to be removed temporarily to eat or drink.
Squash Canada will no longer require proof of vaccination to play in or attend Squash Canada events and activities. However, in the interest of the health and safety of all, Squash Canada strongly recommends that all participants and attendees who are aged 5 and older be double or triple vaccinated with government approved COVID-19 vaccines..
Any COVID-19 safety measures of the relevant provincial government, public health authority and the host squash facilities supersede those of Squash Canada.
