ASCK – COVID-19 Policy & considerations
Effective March 16 – Expiry to be determined by the board

Travel
Out-of-country Travel – Following Government of Canada recommendations. No nonessential
travel. At this time ASCK will not send staff on any out-of-country trip.
Any ASCK employee or athlete travelling out of country for any reason, must follow the
isolation protocol. Staff will not be paid for that isolation, if due to personal out-ofcountry
travel. Athletes will not receive any in-person coaching, during any isolation
period.
Within Canada Travel – Follow Government of Alberta recommendations

Staff travel out of province must approved by the board until the board sees fit
to retract this policy
Vehicle transport – ASCK passenger transport is suspended at this time. Athletes will
have to get to any training on their own.
Training
Implement social distancing – 2m
Athletes attend training at their own risk
All Program athletes can still receive in-person training:
With no more than three people in an indoor setting (this may change and is subject to staff and athletes' risk assesment of individual activities)
Up to six athletes in an outdoor setting (matches on-water coaching ratio)
We will move most training to home-based, video-conferencing, for the time being
Events
Following City of Calgary recommendations at event time
Training opportunities
All gyms are closed. Each of our program athletes has access to a paddling erg. In the
event we need an additional one, there is the large one we can still pull from WinSport
We have developed a home-based training program. We will be encouraging athletes to
share their workouts to encourage others
Kananaskis is starting to run at reasonable hours
Bow River – Open below Glenmore
Harvie Passage – Likely to open late due to ice on river. Unknow what the facility will be
considered with regard to the City’s/Province’s COVID-19 plans
