Sport Gathering Numbers Increase
|
|
This past week, we received clarification with regards to the June 26th Government of NS announcement regarding maximum numbers at sport gatherings (competitions/events).
As of July 6th,
competitions organized by a registered business or registered association
(who has a CRA Business or NS Registry of Joint Stocks number) may organize an event with:
- a plan in place to meet the mandatory sport guidelines (screening, sanitizing, social distancing, etc)
- a maximum of 50 competitors
- if facility space allows, the social gathering limits are 250 for outdoor events or up to 50% capacity to a limit of 200 for indoor events - these numbers include officials, volunteers, competitors, and support persons
This is welcoming news to our community. If this impacts your club/business decision on hosting an event/competition this year and you wish to have a meeting with us to further explore your options, please reach out to Sheila at
nsefprograms@sportnovascotia.ca
PLEASE NOTE:
- Individuals/clubs hosting an event who do not have a CRA or Joint Stocks Number, or who are hosting a clinic, lessons or training, must adhere to the social gathering maximum of 50 in total.
Regardless of the number at your event at any given time,
social distancing must be maintained.

Registration is open for the Heartland Tour, a public awareness and engagement campaign presented annually by the Cardiac Cycling Society of Nova Scotia. The tour has grown into an overwhelmingly positive call to action for all Nova Scotian’s to be more active, and to live an overall happier and longer life.
The tour this year is a virtual, province-wide event, starting on July 11. The challenge is to engage in 150 minutes of physical activity a week for each of the three weeks between July 11 - 31. That's only 21 minutes, 43 seconds a day! Riding/driving, riding your bike, go for a walk, do any activity any place any time - it all counts!
New for this year, the county with the greatest participation rate is going to be awarded a cash prize for recreational trail development in that county!
Registration is free! For more information and to register, visit
