THUNDER BAY – The city’s 55-Plus Centre is reopening its doors on Sept. 14.
The city says classes and registered program should resume the week of Sept. 21.
According to a release issued on Friday, masks will be required to enter the building and must be worn in all public areas. However, they may be removed for fitness classes once in the proper location within the building.
Capacity limits will be in place, there will be no entry prior to 10 minutes before an activity is scheduled to start and there will be no access to either change or shower facilities.
Time has been added between activities to allow for sterilization and sanitization and touchless water stations will be in place to allow participants to fill their own water bottles.
Additionally, the River St. Cafe will be open, but for take-out service only, with no seating in the cafe. The library, gift shop, billiard room and puzzle exchange remain closed for now.
Registration for programs is open by calling 625-8463.

The city also announced on Friday that fall program registration in its aquatics and fitness programs at the Canada Games Complex and Churchill Pool, as well as the neighbourhood recreation program, will begin on Sept. 17, by calling 625-8463.
