Return To Play Guidelines These Guidelines have been developed based on guidance from the City of Brampton in consultation with Peel Public Health and CurlON’s Return to Play Guide. VACCINATIONS On September 1, 2021 the Government of Ontario announced proof of COVID-19 vaccinations to enter select settings including “Facilities used for sports/fitness activities and personal fitness training, such as gyms, fitness and recreational facilities with the exception of youth recreational sport.” As of September 22, 2021 sport facilities will be required to verify that ALL people over the age of 11 entering their facility are fully vaccinated (two doses plus 14 days) by reviewing their paper or pdf vaccine receipt along with a government issued photo ID (Health Card or Driver’s License). UPDATE: Accepted Proof of Vaccination Methods Beginning September 22, 2021, the following methods of proof of vaccination status will be accepted when visiting a City of Brampton Recreation Centre, along with one additional piece of personal identification: 1. Proof of immunization vaccine receipt: This can be obtained from the provincial booking portal, or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-943-3900. 2. Ontario enhanced digital vaccine receipt: The Ontario government is introducing this option in October 2021. The digital vaccine receipt can be kept on your mobile phone and easily used to show that you’ve been vaccinated. More information will be provided regarding this option when it is made available. Please note that the City of Brampton continues to review operational requirements and while they will do their best to ensure the screening process moves as quickly as possible, they ask that you plan to arrive early for your activity to ensure there is adequate time to complete the neces- sary checks. We appreciate your patience during this transition. Exemptions Individuals who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical exemptions will be permitted entry with a doctor’s note clearly indicating a COVID-19 vaccination exemption. This will be recognized until medical exemptions can be integrated as part of a digital vaccine certificate made available by the provincial government in October. Note: Proof of a negative COVID-19 test will not be accepted as an alternative to proof of full vaccination. Created - Sept 4, 2021 | Revised Sept 23, 2021 CCC Return to Play | Page 1
Frequently Asked Questions
Visit here for a list of frequently asked questions related to proof of vaccination status when visiting
a Recreation Centre.
What does this mean for our club and club members?
All registered members of Chinguacousy Curling Club or anyone participating in our club events
must be fully vaccinated with a Health Canada approved Covid vaccine (two doses plus 14 days -
any combination of two vaccines is acceptable) in order to curl/participate.
Anyone with an exemption please contact Shelley Higgerty or Lisa Bailey to confirm validity
of exemption.
UPDATE:
The City of Brampton staff will ask to see identification and proof of double vaccination each time
we enter the building. There will be a security guard at the door checking vaccination status.
MASKS
• Masks (a non-medical mask or face covering) must be worn when entering the facility, wash-
rooms, change rooms, kitchen areas, lobby, lounge area and hallways;
• The use of masks are recommended during play, but must be worn at all times when leaving
the ice area and when physical distancing cannot be maintained;
• In the Lounge area masks must be worn at all times when not seated.
BEFORE THE GAME
Waiver(s) and Declaration of Covid Compliance will need to be signed before being able to curl.
Contact Tracing will need to be done at the start of every game. This will be managed by
Chinguacousy Curling Club/League Conveners. More information on this will follow shortly.
UPDATE:
We are looking to use CurlON’s app for Contact Tracing which uses a unique QR code for each
member of the club. This will also be able to include your vaccination status as well. We are still
in the process of working this out and will provide more information shortly.
Please print off and sign the Covid-19 Waiver and return it to your league convener. It can be-
found on the website.

Game Play
1. Games will be 6-ends or 1.5 hrs long, whichever comes first. There will be no exceptions.
2. Masks are recommended on the ice at all times.
3. Players must adhere to physical distancing at all times in the rink.
a. Distancing markers will be installed in the ice on the divider lines. While not involved in
the play, players should position themselves on a marker until it is safe to proceed to the
throwing end of the sheet.
4. Instead of a handshake, give a friendly wave or broom tap to start the game.
5. Hammer and rock colour should be determined if possible prior to going onto the ice in or-
der to minimize time spent on the boards before the start of the game.
a. To determine hammer in the first end, use Rock-Paper-Scissors or Evens-Odds on your
stopwatch, or use an online tool: https://justflipacoin.com/
6. Players must throw their assigned rocks for the entire game (i.e. teams may not change rock
order mid-game).
a. Players should not touch any stones other than their own. Let the player delivering the
next stone retrieve their own stone.
7. Players should stay on the same side of the sheet. For example, if you are playing on sheet 2,
always walk or position yourself on the sideline to sheet 1. This will keep players 10 feet apart.
8. Non-Delivering Team: The two sweepers of the non-delivering team should be positioned on
the distancing markers while the other team is throwing. The player of the nondelivering team
whose turn it is next to deliver should be positioned at hogline on the same side as the two
sweepers. The Skip (or Vice-Skip) will stand on the backboards but no closer than the hack.
9. Delivering Team: The Skip has control of the house. The player whose turn it is to deliver is in
the hack. The non-sweeping player is on the backboards. The sweeping player is at the T-Line.
a. Once the stone has been released, the player who delivered the stone proceeds down the
centre line of the ice until the halfway point where the distancing marker is or to the hog
line if it is their turn. The sweeper proceeds to the halfway markings. The non-sweeper
travels to the halfway mark or the hog line depending on their turn to deliver or not.
b. Once a player finishes throwing their rock they will go to a distancing marker to wait for
their next turn.
CCC Return to Play | Page 410. Only one sweeper may take the rock down the ice. Once the sweeper is finished, they must
return to a physical distancing marker.
a. You may alternate sweepers as long as only one sweeper takes the rock.
11. Only one person may be in the house at a time. As the sweeper approaches the house, the
person in control of the house must back away from the area of play to maintain a 6-foot dis-
tance from the sweeper.
a. Skips/vices are still required to catch rocks that are set in motion toward an adjacent sheet.
12. No player, other than the designated sweeper, may sweep a rock that is set in motion by the
delivered rock or sweep behind the tee-line.
13. One player on the sheet shall be designated the game’s Scorekeeper and will be responsible
for keeping score.
a. Scoresheet to be provided by League Convener(s).
b. Pen should be the designated scorekeeper’s.
14. Players must not touch other players’ equipment, unless from the same household
