CHANGES IN OUR POLICIES DUE TO COVID-19 and current operating restrictions
CLUB RUN EVENTS
We currently have different rules for events produced by the Heliconian Club and rental events in our hall. If you are attending an in-person event on this list: https://torontoheliconianclub.wildapricot.org/club-calendar between now and May 31 the following rules are in place:
- Masks must be worn at all times
- No food or drink will be served or consumed in the hall
(we no longer require proof of vaccine and we are no longer capping capacity at 50%).
The exception is Life Drawing Sessions continue to require proof of vaccine to attend.
These rules also extend to internal Club events and meetings.
RENTAL EVENTS
If you are attending an event not on the list, it is being organized by another group and they are responsible for setting their own policies, communicating them, and enforcing them. We do not keep these details in the Club office. Please contact the event organizer if you have questions.
RENTERS
We are now allowing renters to set their own COVID rules for their events within the Provincial framework and beyond the Provincial requirements if desired. Renters can keep capacity limits, require their attendees to provide proof of vaccine, serve food and drinks, etc., but they MUST communicate these things to their attendees, and enforce their rules themselves. So if proof of vaccine is being checked, attendees should be informed BEFORE the event, and the renter has to find staff or a volunteer to check the vaccine proof. Likewise is food and drink is served, attendees should be aware in advance.
These rules are still subject to change, both by new Provincial guidelines and by a change in our internal policy.
Please feel free to contact rentals@heliconianclub.org if you have questions or a bookings inquiry.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
