Visiting a Recreation Centre

What are your current cleaning practices at recreation centres?

Regular cleanings during operating hours: Disinfecting high touch areas multiple times throughout the day. That includes entrance glass, viewing area surfaces, counters, door knobs, push plates, lockers, handrails, vending machines, fitness equipment, drinking fountains, seating areas, etc.
Cleaning during closed hours: Application of electrostatics spray to high touch areas including locker rooms, seating areas, indoor playgrounds, and weight and fitness equipment.

Are you looking at any other options for cleaning and air handling systems?

We are exploring new and existing technologies, including:

Piloting at Clareview, Commonwealth and Mill Woods recreation centres the use of antimicrobial film embedded with silver ions activated by light, air pressure and touch for use on high touch surfaces, to help kill certain viruses.
Piloting portable air filters in fitness centres at Mill Woods and Grand Trunk recreation centres, which have older air ventilation systems.

Is there anything I should be doing when I visit a recreation centre?
- You play an important role in creating a safe space by working with us to continue following the public health recommendations and requirements that will be in place as the Government of Alberta moves towards lifting most public health measures:
  - Continue to be kind to each other through this period of transition.
  - Get a first, second and third/booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
  - Monitor yourself for symptoms of COVID-19. If you are experiencing symptoms, we ask that you not enter a facility, return home and follow current Government of Alberta isolation requirements. Check your symptoms regularly.
  - Wash your hands regularly.
  - You can wear a mask to protect yourself and those around you, and please respect people’s personal decisions around wearing masks.

Accessible Communications Services Pilot Program

What is the Accessible Communications Services pilot program?
- In April 2022, we launched a one-year pilot program for accessible communications (e.g. Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART), American Sign Language (ASL) Interpretation) to support individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing in fully participating in the City’s registered recreation programs. This is an action identified in the City’s first Corporate Accessibility Plan.

Why are you launching this pilot program?
- We want everyone to feel a sense of belonging at the City’s Recreation Centres and we are testing a system that will help you fully access the activities and experiences that are important to you.

How long will this program last?
- The pilot begins in April 2022 and will conclude in April 2023. We will continue to evaluate the program over the year and adjust as necessary to provide the best services possible.

How do I participate in this pilot program?
- You can request services for yourself, or on behalf of someone else, by visiting edmonton.ca and using the application form. Follow the step-by-step questions and submit your application online. You can also apply for services by calling 311 (Video Call (VRS): 780-442-5311) or by visiting a recreation centre in person.

What kinds of services are available?
- You will be able to request technology, such as hearing loops, signage, live transcribing capabilities, or services, such as American Sign Language interpreters. More information on all the potential services and technologies is found at edmonton.ca.

Who is paying for these services?
- If your application is approved, the City will cover 100 percent of the cost. For this pilot project, there is a limited budget, so the City will cover the cost up to an individual maximum of $1,500. Once the individual maximum is reached, requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

What are the eligibility requirements?
- This pilot is open to individuals of all ages who are Deaf or hard of hearing. You need to be registered in a recreation program that the City of Edmonton offers in a City-owned and operated facility.
- Pre-approval for Accessible Communication services can be requested in advance of registration for recreation programs by providing course details (Names, ID Number and specific dates for programs listed on MoveLearnPlay) in the Accessible Communications application request form.

Who will provide the services or equipment I need?
- The City will book all providers of services and/or equipment, using a list of approved providers.

Can I hire my own interpreters?
- You are free to hire, or bring with you, your own interpreters but the City does not cover costs associated with those individuals.

How far in advance do I need to submit my request?
- Please submit your request at least 10 business days (Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) prior to the start date for a registered recreation program. Our goal is to process your requests within 10 days of receiving requests.

How do I register for a program?
- You can register for programs through MoveLearnPlay, by calling 311, or by visiting a City of Edmonton recreation centre.

Can I submit the request before registering for a program to get pre-approval?
- Yes, you can submit the request form prior to registering for the city recreation program. Information on the type of specific program that you wish to register for must be included in the form. However, confirmation of pre-approval does not guarantee a space in the recreation program.

Can I request these services when I register for a program on MoveLearnPlay?
- You will need to request services by visiting edmonton.ca, calling 311 or visiting a recreation centre.

How many people will be able to participate in this pilot program?
- The pilot will support applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. With our limited budget for this pilot program, we may not be able to approve all requests received.

What happens when the pilot program concludes?
- We will prepare a final report on the outcome of the pilot program that will provide direction on next steps.
