GymBC Update: We will remain closed. :( Thank you everyone for your understanding.
Status of GBC Return to Sport
Good afternoon member club representatives,
As you know, on November 24, the BC Government published material announcing the mandatory closure of gymnastics facilities. Gymnastics BC (GBC) still has not received any communication directly from the BC Government regarding the publication of this material.
Both yesterday and today, GBC and viaSport staff met to discuss the ongoing closure and to gain further guidance and clarity on the issue.
Additionally, GBC submitted a letter to the Deputy Provincial Health Officer yesterday, urgently requesting clarity. In that letter, GBC also asked the BC Government to allow GBC clubs the same opportunities as any other sport that is considered individual, with required safeguards in place.
While GBC has yet to receive a response from the BC Government, we will continue to advocate on behalf of our members and provide updates as they occur.
To be clear, all GBC member club in-person activities must remain shut down until further notice.
If a club does not comply and remains operating, they may be subject to government fines and other sanctions.
