Dear Students,
The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management (FKRM) has been actively working with UM's COVID-19 Recovery Working Group on a phased approach to re-opening sport and recreation facilities at both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses.
As such, the Sport and Rec Fee will be applied to all UM students' tuition at a reduced rate for the Fall Term. The rate, 70 per cent of the standard Sport and Rec Fee, will be assessed at $62.92 for full-time students and $47.18 for part-time students.
The partial assessment of the Sport and Rec Fee enables UM sport and recreation facilities and services to operate and safely support students through access to facilities and programming (on-site and online) that contribute to physical health, mental wellbeing and student success.
At present, the Active Living Centre at the Fort Garry campus, including group fitness class offerings, are operational at reduced capacity with changes to processes to ensure government, health and UM regulations related to COVID-19 are met.
* All users are being asked to complete a waiver, provided by email from Recreation Services, before they can access the facilities and make bookings.
[*] Changes to booking procedures are highlighted on the Recreation Services websitehttp://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membership-rates
* Locker/change rooms on the main floor, adjacent to the Active Living Centre, are open for day-use, however, showers are not available.
* Single-stall gender-inclusive washrooms, located on every floor of the Active Living Centre, are open and available for use.
While the Frank Kennedy Centre, including gyms, studios, courts, the community change room, and the Joyce Fromson Pool remain closed, feasibility to re-open those areas in alignment with health regulations will continue to be evaluated.
An announcement about the re-opening of the Joe Doupe Recreation Centre at the Bannatyne campus is forthcoming.
Please visit the Recreation Services websitehttp://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membership-rates for more information about changes and updates.
Statement of inclusion: At the University of Manitoba, we are committed to equity of access and opportunity for all members, UM students, faculty and staff. We welcome you to a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone-from all backgrounds and perspectives-is respected, valued, and can enjoy an exceptional experience.
