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 ramp up 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.
