Owen Sound increases capacity at recreation facilities

The City of Owen Sound is increasing capacity at City recreation facilities in response to the province's updated regulations released last week.

A media release says the J.D. McArthur Arena at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre and the Julie McArthur Regional Recreation Centre will return to 100% spectator capacity.

The requirements for masks and proof of vaccination remain unchanged.

Banquet halls at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre will remain at 50% capacity.

The Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre served the community as a temporary field hospital and a site for COVID-19 vaccine clinics during the 2020/2021 hockey season.
