Life could return to the Jus Jordan Arena and fitness complex in Iroquois Falls by the middle of September. That’s the current target for ice in the rink and swimming in the pool, says director of recreation services Brian Finner.
He notes that the fitness centre and cardio room have been open by appointment for three weeks.
“We have a disinfectant dry mist fogger for the facility as well,” he notes, “and people are very, very happy with our arrangements and we certainly look forward to next steps in the opening and transitioning with our new normal.”
Finner says as restrictions surrounding COVID-19 ease, the focus is on getting the reopening right.
“We’re not rushing into anything and our priority is of course safety for our community and our staff,” he explains. “Risk management but at the same time, being able to serve our community with programming again in the most effective and efficient way.”
