Letter to the Editor: In response to Meadow Park Sports Centre frustration

Whistler Meadow Park Sports Centre swimming pool - by Mirae Campbell
Since Feb. 17, Whistler's Meadow Park Sports Centre has operated at normal occupancy, without a booking system.

The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) had a reservation system in place at Meadow Park Sports Centre to manage occupancy as required by the provincial Public Health Order for gyms and fitness centres. The PHO also recommended having pre-booking systems in place wherever possible.

Unfortunately, this temporarily led to fewer people being able to access the facility. However, as of Feb. 17, that requirement is no longer in place and we are happy to return to regular occupancy and no booking system, with COVID-19 safety measures in place including proof of vaccination.

In addition to COVID-19 measures, the RMOW also has a Respectful Workplace Policy which requires staff and the community to engage with each other in a respectful and considerate manner at all times. If a member of the public is not able to engage in a respectful way, they are asked to return or to call back when they are able to do so.
