Hello Everyone,

We want to remind everyone that if your child is not feeling well, is currently sick, and/or you think they may have been exposed to the measles PLEASE KEEP THEM SAFE AND AT HOME.

Due to the number of children and staff we have in the gym on any given evening the spread of different types of viruses can spread quickly so if your child is not well please do not bring them to class.

Thank you for keeping our staff and other gymnastic family healthy and safe.

“At this time, Huron and Perth counties are considered areas of concern for measles. The following is information was taken from the Health Unit website:

Measles is a very contagious airborne virus. It spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. The virus can live for up to two hours in the air and on surfaces.
People who are not immune to measles can become infected if they breathe the contaminated air or touch the contaminated surface, then touch their eyes, nose or mouth. See below for more information on immunity and vaccination.

Many people recover from measles within two to three weeks, but measles can cause complications like pneumonia, ear infections, diarrhea, hearing loss, brain swelling (encephalitis), seizures, or, rarely, death.

If you think you may have been exposed to the measles virus: 

• Assess your risk of exposure using the online Huron Perth Health Unit Measles Exposure Self-Assessment Tool.
• Ensure you are up to date with the measles vaccine.
• Contact a healthcare provider if you are at increased risk. Those at higher risk for measles infection include:
  1. infants less than 12 months of age 
  2. pregnant individuals who have not received two doses of a measles-containing vaccine
  3. individuals with compromised immune system.
• Monitor for symptoms of measles for 21 days following exposure, even if you are up to date with your measles vaccinations.

Anyone experiencing symptoms should contact their healthcare provider as soon as possible, or contact HPPH’s Infectious Disease team at [email protected] or 1-888-221-2133 Ext. 3284.”

We would like to remind everyone that if we are notified of a measles exposure at the club / building, our Health protocol will be to shut down for 48 hours as we disinfect the equipment and gym space.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  Thanks for your attention to this, Michelle

Please refer to the “Welcome to Gymnastics” for general information and helpful hints and answers to most questions.

Our club is a busy place and our parking lot has vehicles coming in and out so when you arrive please make sure your child comes to the door safely.  We ask that you do not arrive more than 5 minutes before their class as we do not have staff in the waiting area to supervise them.

Any questions please be sure to reach out by email or let Jen know directly – our coaches are students and we ask that you discuss any concerns etc. with Jen or by email ONLY.

Lastly, we will be coming into the high season of flu’s and colds and COVID counts increasing especially with children back in school after Christmas break and around lots of family and other children – so for the safety of all the other students/gymnasts and our staff we ask that you do not bring your child to class if they are unwell.  If your child is sick please keep them home.  We appreciate you assisting with the health of the gymnastics club and everyone involved.

Reminder our classes are full and we do have the ability to make up a class if your child has to miss a class.

EMAILS WILL BE ANSWERED USUALLY WITHIN 24 HOURS
