OCC Update Oct 17th
Practice Times
Unfortunately, a problem with the hacks has forced the cancellation of today’s (Sunday's) practice ice and we’ll have to cancel the Monday night practice time as well.
We have scheduled a practice for Wednesday afternoon from 1-3 PM for those who are available. Please register in advance for one of the practice slots - visit the Calendar page for more info.
Everything still is a go for Tuesday night and all the other leagues. Please remember to bring your signed Consent Form and vaccination papers to opening night. A quick verification will be required, as per government mandates.
Season Notes and Reminders
The only road to the club traverses a playground zone. Be respectful of the speed limit during the times the zone is in effect.
Masks are mandated indoors at the club, but are not required while seated or during play. You may remove your mask once you have entered the ice area.
Refer all questions regarding league play to to the respective reps. There are some nuances in the rules between leagues.
There is a time rule in effect. This should be explained by the league rep at the start of the season.
There are also rules regarding spares and delayed start times. I will confirm that these are posted.
Volunteer Bartenders
We have rescheduled the orientation to Tuesday at 7:30. If you can’t make it, we’ll make sure you get some instruction at the start of your first shift.
The club needs someone to take on the duties of a bar manager, only to schedule the volunteers, keep the inventory to sufficient levels and other details. Certainly, some compensation would be available to cover, at a minimum, out of pocket expenses. I’m not sure how much time this would involve. I did this last year during our shortened season and it just blended with the other duties. It didn’t appear to take a huge amount of time.
Payments
If you are waiting to pay by debit, the machine is now available and you can pay on opening night. You can also pay by eTransfer (see info on Registration page) or drop off a cheque.
I understand that many of you were hesitant to pay up due to the lingering effects of last season. The new restrictions are designed to ensure the club has a full season and, as such, it’s time to square your account.
We also have a few known participants who have not formally registered and they need to do so. ASAP
Please and thanks.
I think everyone is itching to throw those rocks.
Everyone can now go out and have a great season.

OCC Covid Protocol
Next week, league reps will be verifying everyone's vaccine status before the beginning of each league.
Please arrive early to allow time for all members to meet with their league rep to present their documentation. If you wish to present your documents privately, please reach out to your league rep to make arrangements.
If you play in multiple leagues, we ask that you verify your status at your first game with each league.
If you are coming into the club to use practice ice, you will need to verify your vaccine status with the practice coordinator when you enter the building.
All spectators and lounge guests should be prepared to produce their records upon request.
Please be advised that masking is still required in the common areas of the club including the downstairs viewing area, lockers rooms, and lounge, but is not required when seated in the lounge or on the ice.
Curlers under 18 are not required to be verified in order to participate according to the most recent public health orders; however, all spectators 12 years and older will also need to be prepared to present their documentation when accessing the club.
Restriction Exemption Program Member Consent Form
All OCC curlers are required to sign this member consent form and present it when you come to the club for your first league game. You can download a copy here.
Amongst other things, this acknowledges that you give the club permission to record that we have verified your vaccine status. By doing this you will not be required to show your proof of vaccination or medical exemption each time you enter the building for a league game.
Also anyone who registered online and indicated that you wanted to submit a signed paper version of the Curling Canada Release of Liability Waiver should bring this signed copy to your first game. You can download a copy here.
Payments Due
With league play starting next week, all outstanding registration payments are due. Easiest is doing an eTransfer (see the registration page for more info). You can also bring a cheque to your first game and give it to your league rep.
Thank you for helping us navigate these challenging times.
