Coronavirus Update: 

Dear Parents of Flip City Gymnastics Club – As of March 13, 2020

We have all been reading about and watching the news regarding the impact of the Coronavirus. Canadian health officials (Fraser Health, Centre for Disease Control, etc.) have reported that the risk of contracting Coronavirus is very low and we can continue with our usual daily activities.

Knowledge of this virus continues to grow. We are now aware of early evidence that this virus can cause a range of mild to severe symptoms, and it is possible that people will not recognize symptoms that are mild. During this time, they can reduce the chance of spread by limiting contact with others. At this time we are doing our best to clean and/or wipe down common area surfaces and equipment as often as possible.

At this time we are asking families participating in activities at Flip City to take the following precautions:

• If you or anyone in your family is ill or has any symptoms that include fever, coughing and/or is exhibiting breathing difficulties, please keep yourself and your athlete at home. Consider consulting with your doctor as needed.

Health officials have also reminded us that we should continue to take the usual precautions that help protect us from this and other diseases:

• Wash your hands frequently – with soap under warm running water for at least 20 seconds. Before and after entering and exiting the facility.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing or, alternatively, to use a tissue and then throw away the tissue and wash your hands.
• Avoid close contact with any individual who has a fever or cough and/or is exhibiting breathing difficulties.
• Stay home if you are feeling unwell.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping to foster a healthy and safe environment for everyone. Safety is our priority.

Please direct any questions to me directly.

After careful consideration, Flip City Gymnastics Club and Gymnastics BC have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Gymnastics BC Championships (April 3-5 | MAG & WAG Optional and Trampoline) due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“As this is a difficult situation for all of us in our sport, we want to make sure we are keeping our athletes, spectators, coaches, and officials safe at this time, and abiding by all BC Government requirements. We look forward to hosting this event at a later date and thank our clubs for their continued support and understanding at this time,” said Sherri Taylor, Executive Director and Chair for the Gymnastics BC Championships.
