April 10, 2021 – To all Georgetown Racquet Club members, the following is the club’s position on participation in tennis or pickleball during the current government orders. After consultation with a variety of agencies including the Municipality of Halton Hills, the Halton Region Public Health, Ontario Tennis Association and Pickleball Ontario the club’s direction is as follows.

• COVID-19 province-wide declaration of emergency and stay-at-home-order: Outdoor exercise is permitted.  Tennis and Pickleball courts are open and available to members.
• Members must have completed the Outdoor Informed Consent document
• Social distancing measures (2 meters or 6ft apart) MUST be maintained.
• Singles play is strongly recommended.
• It is STRONGLY recommended that Doubles only be participated with those in your household (i.e., the Jackson’s could play as a pair against the Mumford’s however they cannot create partners within the two families). If you choose to participate with others not in your household, you are acknowledging the risk associated and are assuming full responsibility for your actions.
• Do not gather in the common area and leave the court immediately after play is concluded.

All GRC organized play is put on hiatus until the Stay-at-Home Orders are lifted. If you wish to play pickleball please book the court out as you would if playing tennis.

If you have question, comments or suggestions please forward to me (pmumford123@gmail.com). The board recognizes that the situation is frustrating for many however we are trying to ensure the safety of everyone during the fluidity of the pandemic. Your patience, cooperation and adherence to the process is greatly appreciated.

On behalf of the Georgetown Racquet Club board, thank you.

Peter Mumford, Club President
