Reminder:  All dancers must show their 2022 RSOBHD card.  Please have them ready to show when  you pick up your number; this will help to eliminate congestion at the admissions/numbers table.  

Dancers and parents should take precautions with respect to the transmission of COVID at this event.  Proof of vaccination, negative test result or medical exemption as per current AHS restrictions will be required for anyone 12 years & over entering the facility. ID required for anyone 18 years & over.  A good health declaration and COVID waiver will also be required  prior to entry.  QR codes will be available at the door. Social distancing is recommended and masking in public areas is mandatory.  Hand sanitizers will be available.   Please do not congregate in the change room.   We will be following the same protocols we used for our previous competitions. 

Protocols as follows:

1. Only one parent to accompanying each dancer, two if volunteering. 
2. Please arrive in costume, hair and makeup ready.  This will limit the change rooms to mid competition changes only.  Dancers should leave in their National outfits.  Dancers outside the greater Edmonton area, please have hair/makeup done  and be prepared to just slip on kilt and jacket or vest.  We are trying to limit congestion wherever possible.
3. No dance mats will be allowed, please do not bring them.  There is a sprung floor in the warmup area.
4. No hair, makeup or costume changing in the washrooms.
5. Please remember to have your vaccination report and ID for adults before arriving at the venue.  All persons, 12 years and over, wishing admission to the venue for any reason MUST show  proof of vaccination, original documentation of a medical exemption or a negative test result.  Adults, 18 years and over, must also provide personal identification.  Tests must be privately-paid COVID-19 PCR or rapid tests completed within 72 hours. Vaccinations or negative COVID tests are required for everyone 12 years and over.  Dancers requiring supervision will not be admitted without a responsible adult.  
6. Bring your phones to complete the required Declaration of Good Health and Covid waiver.  Posters with the QR CODE will be conveniently located.  This health declaration, required for everyone entering the venue, must be completed on Saturday, January 22nd , the same day as the event only.
7. Masks are mandatory for everyone inside the venue.
8. Limiting occupancy of the change rooms, changes in the awards procedure, directional signs and restricting access will all be part of our efforts to protect participants as much as we can.  Please, don’t forget your masks.  Please have patience with the changes and the volunteers involved.   Volunteers are working very hard to make this event possible.
