Summerland is implementing a series of measures today in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is closing the Summerland Aquatic & Fitness Centre as well as all associated recreational programs.
The Summerland Arena, meanwhile, has also been closed.
“The District of Summerland believes that in the best interest of the community and our staff, the closing of these facilities for the time being is a responsible thing to do,” said Anthony Haddad, the District of Summerland’s chief administrative officer.
“Based on the advice received from the Provincial Government on March 16, 2020 that mass gatherings of 50 or more people should be avoided, and the difficulties in practicing safe social distancing in these facilities the District is supporting this requirement with these closures.”
