King Township will open its facilities when the province’s health directive is lifted on Jan. 31.

The township will return to in-person service, fitness and sports programs will be restored, municipal centre counter service will reopen, and the King Heritage and Cultural Centre will be reopened.

The township was forced to close facilities, programs and services on Jan. 5 in order to comply with provincial health directives to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

On Jan. 31, the fitness centre and fitness classes will require pre-registration because of capacity limits. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place and proof of vaccination will be required.

Virtual programming will continued and outdoor ice rinks will continue to operate depending on the weather.

“We’re happy to welcome back our residents after the recent pause to in-person services. Residents can continue to do business with us online, by phone or through email. During the pause we continued to provide services to our community, including getting our outdoor skating rinks up and running. I’d encourage people to use the rinks or head to Cold Creek Conservation Area for healthy, outdoor fun,” said Mayor Steve Pellegrini.
