Manitock skaters are reminded that they must follow the arrows with the yellow exit on them to the end of the dressing room hallway to exit the building. Spectators can exit the side of the building by the stands. No other door should be used for exiting.

FAQ Spectator Edition How many spectators can enter the rink with a skater? Only one It is cold in the stands where else can I stand? No where. Spectators are only permitted in the stands and the main washrooms. ... Do spectators need to be screened? Yes! All spectators must be screened prior to the START of the session to be permitted entry. I helped my skater get their skates on but the group ahead of me is still in the stands. Now what? At Fred Barrett please stand with your skater until the spectators have cleared the stands. In Manitock please exit the facility if the group ahead of you is not yet off the ice. The lobby must be empty for the group ahead of us to get off. Where do I meet my skaters at the end of the session? Outside! Please feel free to post any additional questions you may have or email us at [email protected]

Friendly reminder that skating programs resume at Manotick Arena tonight. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday sessions will be offered at Manotick Arena. Tuesday sessions remain at Fred Barrett. See you tonight!

Attention parents! We need two parents per session to help us complete the screening requirements. All that is required is wearing a mask, access to a phone or tablet so you can enter the screening into our online system and the ability to arrive at the arena 25 minutes before the session starts and stay at the door until the session begins. More information on exactly how this will happen will be provided in an email over the next few days. If you’re interested in volunteeri...ng or learning more please reach out to [email protected] Additional notes: Only one volunteer would be required to attend each week. We do you have access to Wi-Fi at Fred Barrett Arena.

We have an exciting update for parents in regards to spectators entering the arena this fall! Please watch your emails over the next few days for the details from our covid committee around who will be allowed to enter the facility with their skaters starting Monday.

Please remember that if your skater is unable to tie their own skates, they will need hard skate guards this season Posted @withregram @bsharpottawa If you need skate guards because you have to put your skates on in the parking lot, we've got you covered! (S-Trek, Ska-Boots and Super Guard are on the way!) #bsharpottawa #MyBarrhaven #expertsknow

How do the new mask rules affect our skaters returning to the ice tomorrow? Masks will be mandatory to enter the building and must be left on until skaters are on the ice. Once on the ice skaters may remove their mask while training. Masks will need to be put on to at the end of training sessions so that skaters can exit the facility.
