April Update, continuing with the circuit breaker until May 25, 2021.

March Update, there is a Circuit Breaker lock down from March 30, 2021 – April 19, 2021

All exercise classes are cancelled. No yoga until after April 19th.

For the Friday Market, food and plants can be sold indoors, any other products must be sold outdoors.

* Update, the lock down is now in effect until February 5, 2021 *

We have some sad news to deliver.

The shut down of events and gatherings will be in place until January 8, 2021.

Here is an except from the order, as it pertains to Manson’s Hall.

As per the oral order of November 19th, all events are suspended until January 8th. Events are defined as in-person gatherings in any place whether private or public, inside or outside, organized or not, on a one-time, regular or irregular basis. Some named examples include events, meetings and conferences, parties or celebrations, receptions, shows, fund raising benefits, and live solo or band musical performances. Only support group meetings, weddings, baptisms, funerals, and programs/sports for children and youth are currently permitted as gatherings, and where those gatherings occur, they must be in full compliance with the order.

Order restrictions that may directly impact your operation are as follows:
· Holiday parties, receptions, staff gatherings, family gatherings and any other celebrations must be suspended.
· All entertainment, such as trivia and bingo, is suspended.
· No person may permit a place to be used to host receptions before or after a permitted event (e.g. support group meeting, wedding, baptism, or funeral).
· Perimeter seating vehicles (e.g. party busses) require 2m physical distancing between patrons who do not reside together, and must not operate between 11PM and 6AM.

There has also been a cancellation of craft markets, which are considered events. As such, we will not be holding the December 19th outdoor market.

The hall is still open to tenants and we can keep the playschool running.

Stay safe everyone, and please be kind to each other.

Dr. Bonnie Henry Update Nov 19, 2020

After today’s announcement by Dr. Bonnie Henry, we will be shutting down the hall for the next two weeks. However, as our food vendors have already prepared, we will be opening the Friday Market tomorrow for food only. We will be limiting the number of people (more than before) and limiting the time that they spend in the hall. Doors will be open at noon.
The playschool will continue to operate during this time. We are so sad to be taking this step, and hope to be able to meet again in two weeks.

November Update

Manson’s Hall will operate the Friday Market on Nov 20, 2020 as usual, but ongoing openings of the Market will be decided week by week, depending on the BC Ministry of Health announcements of restrictions, and posted on Tideline and on our website.

Going forward, the board will continue to make decisions regarding the operating of the programs and events at the hall based on Dr. Bonnie Henry’s advice.

We require the use of masks in the hall.

Thank you,
SCCA Board

COVID-19 Policies at Manson’s Hall

The SCCA Board of Directors are following the guidelines of Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer,  in the management of the hall.

As of October 27th, it is expected that masks be worn in public buildings. Manson’s Hall is now asking adults to use a mask when they come into the building. This includes attendance at the Friday Market. The staff are not in a position to debate these rules with the public. Everyone has a right to decide whether to comply with the rule or not. There are consequences to all our actions. The consequence of not wearing a mask is not being allowed in the hall. Please write to the board if you would like to discuss the matter further.

Masks are not required in Playschool by either children or staff, according to an Island Health directive.

Thanks for your understanding as we navigate our first winter under these unprecedented circumstances.
