I have taken all the time possible to deliberate on our best way forward given the Alberta Government's regulations in regards to the current Covid-19 situation. Effective Monday, Sept 20 we will be implementing the Restriction Exemption Program (REP) for attendance at CrossFit and CrossFit Kids classes.
This means that, to access the box during class times, if you are 12 years of age or older, you must provide one of the following:
-Proof of Vaccination. Sept 20-October 25: proof of single dose is considered acceptable 2 weeks prior to attendance. After Oct 25 proof of double vaccination will be required.
-Proof of Negative Test - tests must be privately-paid COVID-19 PCR or rapid tests completed within 72 hours. Tests must not be from Alberta Health Services or Alberta Precision Laboratories.
-Documentation of a Medical Exemption from a Western Medical Doctor
We will make a note in a file so you'll only need to show your proof one time. However, we ask that you keep that proof with you at all times in case, for any reason, we would need you to produce it again.
I understand that this has been a difficult 19 months for everyone, and this does not make it easier. Trust me, it's been difficult for all of us as well. We also know this decision will be met with mixed reviews. We've heard feedback from many and do not come to this decision lightly. We are a small, local, family owned business and your support and attendance is appreciated and necessary for the survival of our business, and our family. Same is true for our staff and instructors at both locations. Either decision angers many, but we can't survive more restrictions and modifications to our operations. For the sake of the business, the team, and a hopeful path out of this reality, we feel this is the right decision.
For those we can see, we're excited to welcome you this week. For others, we truly hope you'll be back as the situation changes.
Andrew
