Covid-19 Response: A message to our Spring families

A message to our valued Dynamo families,

Some time has passed since we’ve reached out to you, and we hope you’re all safe and healthy as our communities begin the welcome, yet cautious, steps to prepare for the new normal in the times of Covid-19.

At Dynamo, we’re always optimistic and we remained hopeful we might be able to resume at least part of our Spring session, especially after the Ontario government gave the green light allowing gymnastics clubs to re-open as of May 19. While truly exciting, the announcement was accompanied by strict restrictions, permitting only competitive programs to return to training, ruling out possibilities to offer recreational programs during this first phase of re-opening. Under guidance from our sport governing body, Gymnastics Ontario, our competitive program will return on June 1.

This brings us to the reason for contacting you today. It is with a heavy heart we must let our loyal families know we will not be able to offer any Spring Session classes. Any members enrolled in our Spring Session have received full credit for the session on their Dynamo family accounts, credit which can be used to enroll in any future programs at Dynamo. This credit does not expire and can be used toward any program or purchase of merchandise. For inquiries regarding refunds, please email info@dynamogymnastics.ca. Refunds are available via mailed cheques only.

We anticipate the provincial government will allow recreational programs to re-open this summer, including summer camps, with strict safety protocols in place. We will update members as soon as possible regarding summer camp availability.

We are eternally grateful for the wonderful messages we’ve received from our members during these challenging months, and we continue to work hard to earn that support. We have utilized this time of closure to physically restructure our facility to allow for physical distancing and develop safety and cleaning best practices that go far above industry standards.

For a peek at some of the changes implemented to welcome the return of our competitive program, please see some of our video explainers:

We can all agree Covid-19 has changed our lives immensely, but we are doing our absolute best to find our way forward in this period of “new normal”. Our community’s children deserve to experience the physical and social benefits of sport and recreation and we’ll be here waiting for them.

We wish you all health and happiness and look forward to seeing you back in the gym soon.

Sincerely,

Your Dynamo Team
