Return to Sport - Nordic Racers Ski Club Covid-19 Plan

In compliance with the RETURN TO SPORT PLAN, set out by CROSS COUNTRY BC:

The Nordic Racers Ski Club will continue to follow the CCBC guidelines.  Currently there are no restrictions in place for outdoor activities.

The protocols below are general rules that should be followed if and when required by CCBC and Public Health Authorities.

If you choose to participate, you must follow these rules:

  • If you don’t feel well or are displaying symptoms of COVID-19, you must stay home.

  • If you live in a household with someone who has COVID-19 or is showing symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home.

  • Wash your hands before participating

  • Bring your own equipment, water bottle and hand sanitizer. 

  • Comply with physical distancing requirements at all times

  • Avoid physical contact with others, including shaking hands, high fives, etc.

  • All individuals have signed an online Participation Agreement acknowledging their acceptance of the risks, at the time of membership sign up.

  • All individuals should familiarize themselves with the on-line self-assessment tool, check for symptoms before participating in Nordic Racers training or classes, and if you have concerns, call your doctor or 811. 

  • Consider your own risk.  If you are at higher risk of experiencing serious illness from COVID-19, consider limiting or avoiding participation for the time being.

Group Training such as Dryland and Winter Classes/Workshops will be implemented as follows: 

  • Outdoors is best and activities are structured so physical distancing can be maintained.  Increase distance with higher speed training activities (e.g., roller skiing, running).  When possible & safe, it is preferable to run/bike/ski BESIDE others instead of BEHIND (e.g., on closed roads, wide trails).

  • Groups will not meet inside, unless permitted by current guidelines.

  • Please follow any carpooling and venue parking restrictions that are in effect.
