Hive Muskoka Inc
227 Wellington Street P1L 1C3 Bracebridge, ON, Canada

Based on the ROA, 2020 (O. REG 57/21) amendment, @hivemuskoka will be serving members and those in the community who qualify under the new guidelines. This incl...udes persons with: Mental health conditions: temporary or permanent, of any kind (inc. depression, stress, anxiety etc) PTSD or any Covid 19 Specific duress consequences (employment, child concerns, caregiving) Physical impairments and ongoing conditions not limited to below, but including: Musculoskeletal injuries (injuries that affect muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, bones, nerves and blood vessels) Diabetes, arthritis, sports injuries, permanent injuries to the back, spine, legs, arms etc Brain injury and concussions Cognitive impairments (trouble remembering, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect everyday life) Patrons need to request a letter of recommendation obtained from a registered health professional (ie. RMT, Chiropractor, Family Doctor or Physiotherapist). HOWEVER: Hive Muskoka cannot ask for this letter, request a copy of it, nor can one be identified as a person dealing with any of the conditions, impairments or disabilities listed above. We will provide an absolute duty to accommodate and welcome you and will provide any support required. We have a template letter you can bring to your health professional. We also welcome athletes training for competition. We will continue to offer daytime and evening ZOOM live classes- including Zumba, yoga, Bolly x, Functional Sit and Strong, Functional Stand and Strong, Fascial Muscle Therapy, Get Your Groove On and the ever fun Cardio Abs and Jabs. Hive has you covered ! Hive Muskoka- as a gym with a Social Enterprise Business Model serving to improve community health and wellness from a physical AND an economic standpoint also recognizes the Response Framework Guidelines that validate that a necessity during this shutdown is to support vulnerable community members and to get exercise. In doing that, we are also exceeding Covid compliance from our cleaning protocol, to masks and other PPE to class and facility capacity. OUR NEXT STEPS TO BUILD BACK BUSINESSES? 1. The ability for organized outdoor exercise at any time regardless of the stage ( kind of like golf..) 2. Essential status, or failing this, the same opening status as retail. I.e., if you can buy socks, you can go to your gym/studio/rec centre 3. Capacity Calculator similar to retail stores. You enter your square footage, and you are allowed a certain amount of members per square foot, rather than facilities of all sizes (including arenas and rec spaces) having blanket limitations Hive Muskoka's goal is to be deemed essential, but that is a lofty goal, and we need to aim to make quick progress that supports fitness and recreation while we fight the more significant battle. These suggestions are both reasonable and straightforward to enforce, making them much more likely to be accepted and adopted by the Ontario government. Want to help? Write your local MP. Explain how shutdowns affect you in an unrecoverable way and how losing a mental health outlet is affecting you negatively. Then, ask for these changes to take place immediately as they allow for the continuation of proper safety measures and more significant support for small businesses and their patrons. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, please leave it in the comments. We are all vulnerable. We are all struggling to cope. At Hive Muskoka- our mandate is to help people find their WERF- wellness, exercise, resilience and fun. Thinking of you

Thanks for the review Greg!
