Dear Member, Stakeholder, Supporter,
Right now our game is incredibly fluid and we continue to absorb as much information as we can from reputable sources and take guidance from our municipal leaders and governing body.
Pickering FC have reviewed the requirements of the Ontario Government regarding COVID19 vaccinations as well as the clarifications and exemptions outline by Ontario Soccer. We also received advice from the City of Pickering who are partners with us in the Pickering Soccer Centre.
In reviewing all of these documents, the PFC Board needed to assess (1) the impact on Club members including: staff, coaches, match officials and volunteers, (2) the impact on our players and their well-being, (3) the impact on our external users including leagues and other sports. As a result the following have been Board approved and will commence September 22nd in line with Provincial Government requirements:
- All PFC Staff, Coaches, Match Officials and Volunteers will be required to show proof of double vaccination, plus 14 days, to be involved with PFC programs.
- Players participating in sport who are under the age of 18 (17 and under) are not required to show proof of vaccination.
- All spectators will be required to show proof of vaccination and complete a contact tracing form (via QR code) when they enter the lobby.
-
Similar to last Indoor season, spectators will be limited to one parent/guardian per child at U3-U10 Recreational and one parent/guardian per child at U8 Development only.
- Indoor spectator areas will be reconfigured to standing only areas due to social distancing requirements. Bleachers will be removed in order to provide designated walkways for players to each field.
- Wearing a mask is still required indoors and hand sanitization is strongly encouraged on entry and exit from the facility.
The PFC Family was INCREDIBLE last winter - we all had to adjust quickly to provide a safe indoor season and those changes were followed to the letter. Facility staff commented on how simple the whole process was and how willing people were to make this work - ultimately we just wanted to get players back on the pitch safely. We believe the requirements listed above position us to be ready for this winter and another safe indoor season.
Please don't forget that abuse of PFC Staff will not be accepted. PFC reserves the right to remove any one refusing to show evidence of vaccination and will contact the police if required. PFC Membership may also be revoked.

Pickering’s City Centre is undergoing a bold transformation and the City of Pickering invites residents, business, and stakeholders to share their thoughts on the proposed spaces and user experience.
Inspired by world-renowned public spaces, the project will see an exciting array of new, state-of-the-art municipal facilities, including a Performing Arts Centre, a combined Seniors & Youth Centre, and a relocated and expanded Central Library, surrounded by a vibrant and pedestrian-friendly public square.
From now until September, members of the public can register online and share their thoughts on the features, functionalities, and user experience of one or more of the proposed facilities.
