The provincial government has outlined steps and benchmarks to guide the path to easing restrictions. Within the initial announcement, February 8, 2021, was noted as the start of Step 1.

Step 1 states:
- Group or team sports are not permitted at this point.
- Indoor fitness is allowed for one-on-one training only.
- Individual workouts without a trainer are not permitted.
- No drop-in or groups are allowed.
With those restrictions in place, Town of Westlock facilities will not be opening on February 8.
We eagerly await the details on the parameters of Step 2 in the hopes we can open back up. We look forward to welcoming staff, residents and user groups back into our facilities.
