Beach Guidelines

People exhibiting signs of illness should not enter
beach areas. If you think you may be sick, use the Government of Saskatchewan's
self-assessment tool for COVID-19 and follow the subsequent directions.

Individuals from different groups must maintain a
physical distance of two metres outdoors, indoors, on the beach and in the
water. Towels and beach gear should be set up with four metres between groups
to allow physical distancing to be maintained for those entering or exiting the
area.

There must be no more individuals per group than
allowed under the private and public gathering restrictions. (30)

Towels, beach toys, food and other items should not
be shared between members of different groups.

If the beach area is full, please use adjacent
grass areas, where available, to ensure group and individual physical
distancing is maintained.

Bring your own picnic table covers, cleaning
supplies, hand hygiene supplies and other personal items.

Frequently wash your hands with soap and water or
use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer approved by Health Canada (DIN or NPN
number) if you come into contact with public or common touch surfaces (e.g.
washroom facilities, shower taps, benches, tables, playground equipment).

Shower facilities and change rooms are permitted.

Event are not permitted on beaches at this time.

Playgrounds

Every person who visits a park or outdoor
playground must follow public health orders in order to prevent the
transmission of COVID-19.

People exhibiting signs of illness should not enter
parks or playgrounds. If you think you may be sick, use the Government of
Saskatchewan's self-assessment tool for COVID-19 and follow the subsequent
directions.

People not from the same household or extended
household should maintain two metres of physical distancing at all times. Limit
gathering with other people when entering and leaving the park/playground and
supervising children playing (e.g. paths, benches, picnic areas).

Group sizes must comply with the public gathering
restrictions.

Ensure frequent hand hygiene for everyone before,
during and after outdoor play.

If an area is busy, such as playground equipment or
park space, come back when it's not as busy or use another play area.

Do not share toys or sports equipment between
groups.

Practice proper hand hygiene:

Wash your hands
frequently with soap and warm water or, when unavailable, with hand sanitizer.

Refrain from touching
your face.

Carry and use
alcohol-based hand sanitizers approved by Health Canada (DIN or NPN number)
before and after using playground and other recreational equipment.

Consider limiting
children and other members of your household to only visiting playgrounds close
to your home. This will help limit the number of people your family may come
into contact with during the visit.

Mask use is not required,
but non-medical masks (e.g. cloth or other materials) are an additional measure
you can take to protect people around you when physical distancing cannot be
maintained or is unpredictable. Guidelines for cloth masks are available.
