NOTICE TO MEMBERS

We have been having issues with people’s belongings being moved in/out of cubbies. We have also noticed that some pairs of shoes have been at the facility for years without having been moved. Now that we have a good number of members, we have no space for shoes that are left behind. We will be clearing out the cubbies on March 15th, 2023. This means that all members will need to claim their shoes by March 15th, 2023. We will keep shoes in a box at the gym until March 31st. All shoes not collected or claimed by March 31st will be donated to Gleaners.

If you live out of town, or are not able to get your shoes, we can hold them for you until you can, please email [email protected] if this is the case. Any member who would like to keep the cubby their shoes are currently in can email [email protected] and pay the fee.

Going forward, we will rent cubbies out to members for a price of $1/month for each month that you purchase a membership. If you do not wish to renew your gym membership, we will re-issue the cubby to another member. There will be a waitlist for cubbies, and each cubby will be numbered.

Hello Members!

As you may have seen, we posted the Facilities manager job a few weeks ago. I am leaving on vacation for a few weeks, and I figured it would be good to get someone trained so we would have a fill in.

So, I am happy to announce that we have hired Amber Mitchell as our new co-manager (her and I will share the position). Amber has extensive experience in the fitness, nutrition and service industries. She is organized, personable and I am so excited to have her join us.

She will have access to this email so, going forward, you may be answered by her or myself. I will send her phone number once she has been trained! Please send all questions/concerns to [email protected].

Thank you,

Amy

Hello Members,

The school is closed today and tomorrow due to flooding impacting the septic system. This means the gym will also be closed. I will let you know when it is open again.

Thank you,

Hi Members,

Just a heads up from the school principle:

The school is closing today and tomorrow due to excessive water and some flooding concerns. A crew will be on site tomorrow working on things. No one will have access to the building including the fitness center as we will have no access to washrooms. Could you please inform your members that the gym is closed starting at 3:00pm today and all of tomorrow. We should be able to reopen on Wednesday.

Thank you!!

Me again!

I forgot to mention to you guys that the school has set times they use the gym, and as of now, we cannot mix students and members.

These are the times the gym will be CLOSED to members:
Monday+Friday: 1:30pm-2:30pm
Tuesday+Thursday: 8:20am-9:20am
Wednesday: Cleaning from 1:00pm-2:00pm
Also, your card will be reactivated within 48 hours of Tuesday morning if you come either Saturday or Monday. Since Monday is a holiday, the electrician will be in the office Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to re-activate cards. I want to thank you in advance for your patience with this, our electrician is a busy man and this is a tedious job!

Thank you,

Amy

Hello Members,

The website is now ready for you guys to re-sign the waivers, the link is www.eastshorefacilities.com, the waiver is under the "memberships" tab. It will prompt you to choose a membership type ($30/month, $60/3months, $200 annual). I know some of you have recently paid so please just select the type of membership you already purchased and proceed to the waiver. For those of you who still need to pay, you can e transfer [email protected] or give me cash in person. I can let you know if/when you need to pay when we meet to check vaccination status, so if you are unsure what your payment status is, please just select one month and proceed to checkout (the waiver).

I will be at the gym on Saturday (October 9th) from 3-5pm to check status and also on Monday (October 11th) from 9-11am. Please wear masks and wait at the door for me to let you in.

I will host more times next week to do this as well, perhaps Wednesday/Friday evenings? If you can, please try to fill out the online waiver before coming to confirm vaccine status.

Let me know if you have any issues. This website has just gone live so please bear with us as we navigate how it will all look/work.

Looking forward to seeing you all back in the gym,

Amy

Hello Members,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the sun we are having!

We are currently in the process of coming up with a plan to re-open the gym. As you can imagine, this is logistically challenging, given the new vaccine requirements for fitness centers.

As per the PHO, we are required to ask our members to show proof of vaccination and government issued I.D before they can use the facilities. You can download a copy here: https://www.healthgateway.gov.bc.ca/vaccinecard, but we will also accept paper copies and vaccine status from out of province. We will not be storing any of your information at this time but please note that School District #8 at some point may require copies of I.D for their own records.

In order to facilitate this, we will be deactivating all cards and in order to RE activate your card, you will need to re-sign our waivers (which will be available on our website that I will send the link to) and meet with me to show your vaccination card. Essentially, we are starting from scratch, rebuilding our membership list. This is the best way we came up with to keep everything organized. We will have various times when members can come to show vaccine cards, (for example, every Wednesday 12-2 pm for the next month), or, if you cannot make it to these "sessions", we can meet on an individual basis. Once vaccine status has been confirmed, your card will be reactivated within 48 hours and you will be good to use the gym.

We are just finalizing the website but we should be good to begin this process this week.

Thank you for your understanding,

Amy
