The city has extended the shut down of all scheduled programs, performances and events at city facilities until at least July 5.
This would effect such teams as the Guelph Nighthawks and Guelph Royals whose seasons were scheduled to start before then and the Guelph Games masters athletics event, which is scheduled for June.
"Following advice from Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, all City of Guelph recreation centres, libraries, museums and theatres remain closed until April 30 to slow the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). All scheduled programs, performances and events at City facilities are cancelled through July 5, 2020," says a city news release.
“The situation is still changing, and we will continue sharing updates with our community in the coming weeks. We will reopen facilities and restore City programs and services based on advice from local health officials,” said City of Guelph Chief Administrative Officer, Scott Stewart.
If you registered for programs or classes, rented a sports field, booked a picnic shelter or reserved any other recreation facility before July 6, 2020, you will receive a credit or refund. If you have a credit card number on file with the City of Guelph, you will automatically receive a refund for the classes we have to cancel. If the City doesn’t have a credit card number on file, you will receive a credit on your account that you can use to pay for future recreation programs or contact us for a refund.
For more information about recreation program credits and refunds email [email protected] or call 519-837-5699.
If you have a three- or 12-month fitness or recreation membership, your membership will be extended so you can use it when we reopen the facility. You will not be charged while the facility is closed.
The River Run Centre will contact all ticket holders about updated schedules and/or refunds.
Guelph’s waste collection, water, and wastewater services will continue.
Yard waste collection is scheduled for May. The waste drop off is open to commercial users only.
