Covid-19 Infection Control Policies & Procedures

Masking 

In alignment with the current Ontario Government masking requirements, we will be suspending our mandatory masking policy as of June 27, 2022.

However, at any time participants or family members may request their team who is working in close contact with them to be fully masked.

Otherwise it is at the discretion of each individual (staff, volunteer, participant) whether they choose to be masked or not while at Hope Haven and personal choices will be respected.

If any individual is displaying symptoms that may be related to Covid-19 or any other virus, we ask that you are fully masked on arrival or otherwise if feeling unwell to please remain at home.

Covid-19 Health Screening

We ask all individuals entering Hope Haven property to screen themselves prior to arriving. Below is the screening tool that we are using for all participants, volunteers and staff. This is the same tool provided by the Ontario Government for screening of school children. There is a PDF as well as the online tool available to choose from.
