COVID-19 Update #9 Supplement
June 16, 2020 Hi Sundance Lake Residents, Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We understand how limited park admission is disappointing. Your volunteer Board has been elected to represent the members and make informed, unbiased policies as required. We have reviewed historical statistics and in direct consultation with AHS have been instructed to identify, limit and manage capacities. Our beach/grass or swim area are the limiting factor and capacity is currently set at 300 people. We can reach upwards of 1,400 visitors (700 members and 700 guests) a day. We have no way of predicting the peak days as they have historically been largely weather dependent. These past months we began discussions and reviewed the pros and cons of various park entrance options. We chose the odd/even option for a number of reasons including it is equal for all households regardless of the time or day of the week, it reduces long line ups and wait times and there is no need to pre-book or limit times. No option will be perfect for everyone. Although we are focused on what is anticipated, what we did not factor in enough is the fact that the park is currently quiet for a variety of reasons. Nobody wants an empty park. As a result, we have temporarily modified the odd/even rule as follows: Odd number houses priority access until noon on odd days Even number houses priority access until noon on even days For example, on June 17th, only odd number houses have park admission until noon. After 12pm, the odd/even restrictions are lifted. Other members (regardless of house number) have the opportunity to enter the park, capacity permitting. If capacity is reached, admission is allowed as members leave the park. The priority access time can change as the situation evolves. This option has the added benefit to give friends and family an opportunity to meet up. Guests are still not permitted at this time. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 government and health regulations and guidelines, capacities and park attendance. The safety of our residents and employees continues to be paramount. We have been granted AHS permission to open the swim dock and slides provided social distancing measures are obeyed. We will continue to assess the situation and will modify entrance requirements and usage of amenities as needed. Lake fees are not impacted by the number of visitors. We are open 7 days a week and most of our expenses are fixed with increased cleaning costs. Please continue to check www.lakesundance.org for updates before your visit. Also be reminded to be respectful to our employees during these unprecedented times. Verbal abuse will not be tolerated. Thank you for your patience, understanding and support. Regards, Sundance Lake Management and Board of Directors 
COVID-19 Update #9
June 12, 2020 Hi Sundance Lake Residents, With your support, compliance and cooperation of past reopenings of the park, we are pleased to announce our phase 2 reopening, including all our buildings/washrooms, beaches and swimming effective June 15. With the warmer weather and opening of our beach and swimming, we are expecting an increase in park attendance. Given the continued social distancing rules and our various capacity limits, we are introducing one additional park entrance requirement:
This is in addition to the other park entrance requirements this year:
We understand a downfall is use of the facility every-other-day and a potential emptier park on milder days but for clarity and ease of enforcement, we believe this policy to be our best option. We continue to monitor COVID-19 government and health regulations and guidelines, along with our park attendance rates, and will modify entrance requirements as needed. Please continue to stay informed on Sundance Lake’s Special COVID-19 Rules (the red/green chart), which is posted on our website. We hope you have a safe, pleasant, enjoyable summer and look forward to your visit! Update: May 30, 2020 Playgrounds are now open. Please note that they are not being sanitized and they are use at your own risk. We strongly recommend hand washing before and after use. COVID-19 Update #8 May 15, 2020 We have all been anxiously anticipating a reopening of the park and facilities and are excited to announce Phase 1! We are opening in phases to follow the regulations and guidelines continually put forth by our Federal, Provincial and Municipal health and government officials. The park partially reopens Saturday, May 16th Highlights: Park hours are extended Mon-Sun 9am-7pm for members only. (No guests) Members under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult for now. The park is open for many sporting activities, with restrictions. The lake is open for fishing and privately owned watercraft. Park rules apply. Benches/picnic tables are open, with restrictions. No boat or equipment rentals at this time. The summer washrooms are open. All other buildings are closed, including the Office. Expect further partial reopening in SLRA Phase 2. The public beach, swimming area and boat rentals are closed until SLRA Phase 2. How Members can help: Remember: We are all responsible for following regulatory guidelines. Stay informed. Remember: Only you can keep our park open – by staying 2 meters apart from other households. Do not gather in groups, or with people outside your immediate household. Do not leave your house if you have any symptoms (e.g. cough, fever, runny nose, etc.). Each member must swipe their lake card for access into the park. All other park rules continue to apply. Please follow all rules and be respectful of others. We will continue to open amenities in phases, as permitted by our local authorities and when safe to do so. The safety of our members and employees is our top priority. Enjoy your visit! |
