Closure of Curling Rink for Safety During or After Weather Events

1. The following statement is effective immediately and will be implemented going forward.

   With the opening of the Curling Club for the 2024-2025 season, we must address the safety and operational guidelines for the Club during and after weather events. These guidelines are designed to ensure the safety of all members and the integrity of the facility.

   Guidelines for Closure:

   1. Wind Conditions: The Curling Club will be closed if wind speeds reach 70 KPH (kilometers per hour) or higher.
   2. Snow Loads: The Curling Club will be closed if snow accumulates to a depth of 1 foot or more.

   These parameters are being put in place to ensure safety, especially in the case of high winds and heavy snow.

   Notification Process:

   • CMP Park will notify the Club by email when a closure is imminent due to weather conditions.
   • Members: It is vital that your email address is up to date in the Curling Club Manager system.
   • League Chairs: When a closure is announced, the League Chairs will forward the notification to their core groups.

   Important Notice on "No People Inside":

   • When the park indicates “no people inside,” this means that no one is to enter the building, regardless of their role.
     • No Ice Technicians
     • No Keyholders
     • No Teams (practice or scheduled ice sessions)

   Anyone found disobeying this order will have their key privileges suspended, and the key will not be returned.

   Immediate Action:

   Please be aware that weather conditions are expected to change over the next few days, and a closure could be implemented. We encourage all members to monitor their email closely during this period.

   Further updates and more details will be provided as we continue to refine these procedures.

   Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
