As we all continue to meet the challenges of the pandemic, we recognize how important City and Township recreational facilities are to participants and families. The Cities and Townships of Waterloo Region have worked together to standardize on the protocols for recreation facilities and community centres as much as possible to help everyone understand the rules.
As part of a Regional Approach to safe Facility Usage, we encourage you to Check before you Rec, by reviewing our facility usage guidelines below or visiting the municipal website for the facility you are travelling to.
