2021/2022 COVID-19 Guidelines
The North Bay Nordic Ski Club (NBNSC) is pleased to welcome members and day users for another season of outdoor physical activity and family fun. The NBNSC considers the health and wellbeing of our members, day users, volunteers, employees, and the local community our highest priority – and what could be better for your health than getting outside into the fresh air this winter!
The NBNSC has identified and compiled guidelines and protocols for Covid-19 that have been established by the North Bay Parry Sound Health Unit, the Ontario Government (O Reg 364/20), and our governing sport bodies (Cross Country Ontario (XCSO) and Nordiq Canada) to ensure that the winter season is safe and fun for all. The guidelines and protocols will be re-evaluated and updated as necessary. We encourage everyone to stay safe and healthy by following Public Health Guidelines.
