APRIL 28/ 2021 UPDATE

LEVEL 2 AWARENESS - COVID-­19 ACTION PLAN

RANGE USE REMAINS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Due to the COVID-19 and the declaration of a Public Health Emergency by the Province of Newfoundland Labrador, The Executive and Board of the Upper Humber Rod and Gun Association has enacted an action plan for our ranges and the Association similar to those used in other outdoor events.

Updates have been made related to the Alert Awareness which is now at

" LEVEL 2 "

Considering Health Canada’s guidance that outdoor activities present a lower risk but social distancing is still recommended, please note the following;

• UHRGA group activities and rentals are permitted with restrictions.

• The clubhouse will remain closed until further notice but may be made available under very strict guidelines and with strict cleaning measures put in place before and after each event and group activity.

Masks must be worn in any public building.

• Continued use of ranges by members to a maximum number of persons as allowed by our Provincial Government / group / range during a "Level 2" Alert Awareness and as long as the 6 foot / 2m Safe distancing measures can be maintained as per public health. This MUST be strictly adhered to.

• Social distancing shall be maintained by all persons at all times on all ranges and buildings. The only exception is your guests who are persons within your own Family Bubble as defined by the Provincial Government. Protect yourself and others, Wearing a mask is a safe practise and is encouraged on the ranges.

• Use only every second shooting platform and/or maintain safe social distance between each person including those at shooting positions.

· Special measures have been put in place by the Trap team for additional COVID-19 safety.

• Members/guests are responsible for their own hand washing measures / sanitization and each person will assume any and all risks when touching any surfaces including locks, doors, tables, chairs, and surfaces. It is a good idea to bring along cleaning/disinfectants. We will try to maintain sanitizing products outside for your use but please bring along your own.

• Leave nothing behind, everything you bring in you must bring out including shell casings, cartridges and boxes, drink bottles and cans.

• If someone or group is using the range, please consult from a distance and wait in your vehicle / or safe area until they are finished.

• Please be respectful of others waiting.

• Memberships will continue. Contact myself directly for any issues or concerns.

We will review/renew our action plan every 2 weeks but it may be changed or cancelled at the discretion of the UHRGA Executive and Board, direction of Health Canada, or our Provincial Government where Government Regulations will be proclaimed the rule of the day. Please ; Keep yourself informed.

These are challenging times and we all are expected to do our part in preventing the spread of this virus and keeping our hospitals and health care persons from being overwhelmed. By Staying Safe we help others stay safe !
