Restriction Exemption Program Lifted from City Facilities

In response to the Province’s lifting of the Restriction Exemptions Program, all City facilities will no longer require proof-of-vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test, effective February 9, 2022.

Other public health measures, such as indoor masking and youth screening will be lifted effective March 1, 2022 per provincial direction.

Members of the public are reminded to book recreation programming, classes, and public 'Splash & Play' times online through the regular booking process.

Sport and Recreation

Guidelines have been developed to support sport, physical activity and recreation organizations, participants and facilities in reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19 among attendees. Individuals participating in organized activities sanctioned by, or affiliated with, a provincial or national organization should ensure they are also complying with their governing body’s guidelines, assuming they meet or exceed provincial guidelines.

Please refer to the provincial sport and recreation guidelines for more information

Outdoor Recreation

The City of Grande Prairie recognizes that parks and outdoor recreation spaces are important for health and wellness.

Users are encouraged to follow the provincial guidelines on outdoor activities when using parks, trails and outdoor recreation spaces:

• Do not use if you are exhibiting flu-like symptoms
• Follow public health guidance on personal hygiene prior to visiting recreation spaces
• Wash hands frequently
• Refrain from touching your face with unclean hands
• Sneeze and cough into your elbow
• Carry and use hand sanitizer
• Always maintain a proper physical distance of 2-metres from other individuals not in your household
• Plan activities with people only from your own household
• Plan your activity in advance to ensure physical distancing is possible. If your activity involves a public place:
  • consider going during non-peak hours
  • walk along the sides of trails and other public pathways to maintain distance
  • share the trail and warn other users as you pass
• Avoid contact with frequently touched surfaces or objects

We believe that parks and trails and nature can benefit our community's physical and mental health. All residents are encouraged to do their part to use them in a way that respects each other and public health directions.
