Spectra Venue Management recognizes that the safety and well-being of our guests and employees is our top priority at the Mattamy Athletic Centre
We have taken enhanced health and safety measures to protect our venue guests:
- Additional cleaning and sanitization processes and elements have been added to cover all areas.
- Signage and reminders for personal hygiene and handwashing have been placed throughout the facility, including all restrooms.
- Increased sanitization of public touchpoints, handrails and doorknobs.
- Washrooms will be cleaned and disinfected after each scheduled session.
- All MAC staff are required to do a symptom and temperature check before beginning every shift.
However, there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to local health authorities, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By entering the venue, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19, and The Mattamy Athletic Centre and Global Spectrum Facility Management disclaim any and all liability related thereto.
