COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements for access to the Fitness Center
Under health orders from the province of Ontario, certain indoor facilities, including gyms and fitness centers, will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination starting September 22, 2021
As of September 22, all members will need to provide proof that they have both doses, a minimum of 14 days prior to entering the fitness center. Those who are not already fully vaccinated should schedule their second dose appointment as soon as possible in order to avoid a disruption of access.
If you have a PDF two-dose vaccine receipt please forward to us before September 22, 2021 - all vaccine records are confidential and will NOT be shared with any other individual or organization.
If we do not receive your proof of immunization by September 22, your access to the fitness center will be suspended until proof is received. Please note we will not be putting your membership on hold while waiting for your proof of immunization. After September 22, if you are unable to access the fitness center please contact the Municipal Office @ 807-487-2354 and we can reactivate your fob/card, once you send your vaccination receipt to us at cao@chapple.on.ca All other COVID-19 rules will still apply (masking, handwashing, sanitizing etc.) even if you have been fully vaccinated.

Wet wipes, paper towels and facial tissue can clog pipes
We recognize that many residents may be increasing their use of disinfectant wipes, paper towels and facial tissues in response to COVID-19.
We would like to remind residents not to flush wet wipes of any kind. Despite what some packaging says, wipes are not flushable. Paper towels and facial tissues also do not belong in the toilet. These items cannot be flushed because they do not break down like toilet paper does.
If wipes, paper towels and facial tissues are flushed, they can cause blockages in pipes – which may lead to sewage overflows in your home or business.
Further down the line, these items can clog sewers and cause sewage overflows into streets and the natural environment. They can also cause costly damage to local wastewater infrastructure.
The only things that should be flushed are the 3Ps: Pee, Poo & (toilet) Paper. No exceptions. Please put used wipes, facial tissues and paper towels in the garbage.
Thank you for working with us to keep our community’s pipes and sewers clear and our wastewater infrastructure functioning smoothly.
If you have any questions, please contact Chapple Municipal Office, Peggy Johnson, (807) 487-2354 or cao@chapple.on.ca.
