MASK REQUIREMENT REMINDER:
The Beach Club clubhouse is a discretionary public space and the PHO (Public Health Order) for Indoor Gatherings are the guidelines we are to follow (under the Island Health region).  This should not be confused with the guidelines covered under the PHO for Food & Liquor Serving Premises that covers restaurants, pubs, bars, and nightclubs (this PHO does not apply to our clubhouse).  

For example, at an event where food and / or drinks are served, members are to be seated in order to eat or drink and then masks can be removed for this purpose. When not seated (standing or mingling), masks are to be worn but may be removed briefly for a sip from your glass and promptly replaced.  

This also applies to any meetings, clubs or group events. Masks must be worn for the duration of the gathering and may be removed briefly to take a sip of coffee or water, and promptly replaced.

The exceptions are: when performing exercise in your personal space in the gym or in a class, and office staff while working at a non-public work station that is inaccessible to members.

Again, this is the Public Health Order that we are to follow under the guidance of public health because it has been mandated at this time, regardless of vaccination status or individual preferences. 

Thank you for your on-going cooperation.
