The health and safety of our residents and employees is our number one priority. When the facility opens, we will be operating under a number of strict safety precautions, and with limited services.

The following protocols have been developed to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 among our customers and employees. We have been working closely with the Niagara Region Public Health to implement best practices for physical distancing to ensure the safety of everyone in our facility.

Unmonitored and private social gatherings include functions, parties, dinners, gatherings, BBQs or wedding receptions held in private residences, backyards, parks and other recreational areas. Significant monetary fines are in place for non-compliance. The new limit on the number of people allowed to attend an unmonitored private social gathering across the province is:

• 10 people at an indoor event or gathering (previous limit of 50); or

• 25 people at an outdoor event or gathering (previous limit of 100).

What does this mean?

Please ensure that you are adhering to the above guidelines in the parking lots, parks and pavilion areas. Loitering is prohibited in these areas before and after the skate program time and we respectfully request that once the skate is over, you vacate all Town property in a prompt fashion. A reminder that alcohol is also not permitted in Town facilities, parks, parking lots and pavilions and will be strictly enforced by the Town of Lincoln By-Law Officers. Niagara Regional Police Service and municipal by-law enforcement will be working together to ensure gathering restrictions are followed and enforced.
