Updated July 20th, 2020
There are two documents that must be completed by all individuals coming to the club:
- Waiver: This waiver must be completed only once, prior to your next visit to the club.
- Declaration of Compliance: This must be completed before each and every visit to the club.
The staff member on duty has authority to deny entry to club property to any member who has not electronically submitted a declaration and waiver in advance of their arrival at the club.
Tennis
Members may book and use the tennis court(s) if they have signed the waiver and the declaration of compliance prior to their scheduled booking, and they are in compliance with the conditions of both of these documents.
Tennis Membership & Fees:
Tennis members who would like to take a sabbatical for the 2020 season can retain their section status into 2021. Members wishing to retain their section status must pay the House Fee of $150 + HST.
Tennis members who are on sabbatical will not have guest privileges to play at the club, though they may visit the club socially when the club's re-opening protocols allow for such activities.
If tennis members later wish to reinstate their membership at some point during the 2020 season, they will be assessed the full membership fee for the season.
For tennis members playing this season, section fees are not being adjusted or pro-rated at this time. In the event that the club must close again for an extended period due to the pandemic, the board will assess possible prorated refunds at that time.
