Wawa's Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre's reopening after nearly two months.
Closed since Christmas - due to the provincial lockdown and stay-at-home order - the facility's open today, as the Algoma Public Health region is now in the "Yellow-Protect" category of Ontario's tiered restrictions framework.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson says things are similar to how the facility functioned before the shutdown - with the gym open, hockey and curling, and the same programming as before - though the "Yellow" category does have some specific restrictions for fitness, dance, and karate classes.
Patterson adds user groups are also asked to submit contact forms for screening and tracing, and notes the facility's technically open for private rentals, but availability's very limited as it accommodates regular activities like fitness, hockey, and curling.
While he emphasizes the best people to contact about restrictions for an activity would be the relevant user group, Patterson notes you can call the Pro Shop or contact the Wawa Recreation Facebook page for information about restrictions or schedules.
