Leamington closes complex LEAMINGTON — The Municipality of Leamington has temporarily closed the newly named Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre as the province moved this area into Red Level status due to the COVID pandemic. Effective Monday, all team sports, rentals and member activities were cancelled until further notice.
All memberships will be extended for the period of time that the complex is closed. Throughout the fall season, the complex has gradually been re-opening their services, allowing hockey, gym sports, swimming and workouts as they strived to return to a more normal setting. With the increase of new positive cases, the
province felt that the region also needed to rampup their alert level and announced that move on Friday. The municipality followed over the weekend with the announcement that they would close the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre — effectively putting an end to the 2020 season for users.
Kingsville suspends ice use, cancels marketplace KINGSVILLE — Effective Tuesday, the Town of Kingsville has temporarily suspended on-ice programming and ice rentals as a preventative measure against the spread of COVID-19 in the Windsor-Essex region. The region moved from Orange to Red on the Province’s COVID-19 Response Framework as of 12:01am on November 30. The Red ‘Control’ level significantly limits sports and recreational facilities to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors. The new guidelines also prohibit games and scrimmages. In light of these restrictions, and after consultation with user groups, Kingsville decided to take additional precautions by temporarily shuttering ice programming and rentals until further notice. Residents are asked to familiarize themselves with the new restrictions
and check the WECHU’s website for the most up-to-date local pandemic status. Questions or concerns about memberships can be directed to the Kingsville Arena by calling 519-733-2123. In addition, the Town of Kingsville has cancelled its Fantasy of Lights Marketplace originally scheduled for December 5 and 6. The town will still distribute Breakfast with Santa kits starting December 1st. Anyone interested in receiving a pancake kit with a children’s craft can drive up to the Kingsville Arena’s front door and pick up their package from under the awning. Please only take one kit per family as numbers are limited. The Fantasy of Lights festival continues until January 8, 2021. Take a festive stroll at one of the many light display locations.
