As we move into the fall season, the city of Regina is excited to announce that its Fall Leisure Guide for 2021 will offer a wide array of programs that mark a return to pre-pandemic levels of activity. After a period of restrictions and limited offerings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city’s commitment to providing diverse recreational opportunities is once again on full display. From fitness classes to swimming lessons, the upcoming leisure guide promises something for everyone, ensuring a vibrant and active fall for all residents.
Expanded Program Offerings and Capacity
The Regina Fall Leisure Guide for 2021 marks a significant milestone: the return to offering over 150 different programs, spread across 1,200 individual classes. Whether you’re interested in fitness, aquatic programs, or other leisure activities, there’s no shortage of options to explore. These programs will run from September 1 to December 31, providing ample opportunity for residents to participate in both familiar and new activities.
Comprehensive Program Range
The city’s fall programming encompasses a wide variety of activities designed to cater to all ages and interests. Key offerings include:
- Fitness Classes: A broad selection of fitness programs will be available, ranging from beginner-level classes to more advanced offerings. These classes are designed to help individuals maintain or improve their physical health, with options for all fitness levels.
- Aquatic Programs: Swimming lessons will once again be available, offering essential water safety skills for both children and adults. These lessons are perfect for those looking to learn or refine their swimming techniques.
- Recreational Activities: In addition to fitness and swimming, there will be numerous recreational programs aimed at bringing people together. These may include art workshops, dance classes, and other leisure activities designed to provide fun and enrichment for the entire family.
The ability to offer these classes and programs again is a testament to the hard work and planning that has gone into managing the ongoing pandemic. As the province of Saskatchewan moves into Step 3 of its reopening plan, the lifting of certain restrictions has allowed the city to expand both the capacity of these programs and the number of offerings available.
Adapting to New Norms: Safety Measures and Precautions
While many of the restrictions have been lifted, the City of Regina continues to take certain precautions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all participants. Enhanced cleaning procedures will remain in place, particularly for high-touch areas and shared spaces. Additionally, while the pandemic has necessitated the introduction of new practices, it has also led to a greater awareness of hygiene and safety that will continue in the fall programs.
Ongoing Safety Measures
- Masking: Although not mandatory, participants are welcome to continue wearing masks if they feel more comfortable doing so.
- Hand Sanitization Stations: These will remain available throughout the facilities to ensure that participants can easily maintain good hygiene practices.
- Stay Home if Sick: As with previous years, individuals who are feeling unwell are encouraged to refrain from attending classes to protect the health of others.
These ongoing precautions will ensure that participants can enjoy a safe and comfortable environment, minimizing the risk of illness while maximizing the benefits of in-person recreation.
