Athletics and Recreation is Here for You, Online

Golden Hawks, we know you're wondering about what the fall term will look like for Athletics and Recreation following the fall term announcement. Here is what you need to know.

You can continue to follow our developments on our COVID-19 Update page.

Closures and Cancellations

Facilities Remain Closed During Stage 3

The Athletic Complex and University Stadium in Waterloo will not be opened immediately as part of the Ontario government's stage 3 recovery plan. Check back for more information about Laurier Brantford YMCA.

We continue to review the conditions of a stage 3 opening to determine the viability and timeline of reopening our facilities. The health and safety of our members continues to be our top priority. Laurier remains eager to welcome the community back to our Athletics and Recreation space as soon as it is practicable to do so, and in alignment with public health and university guidelines.

Fall 2020 Sports Season is Cancelled

Ontario University Athletics (OUA) and the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) announced the cancellation of all OUA and OCAA-sanctioned sports programming and championships up to Dec. 31, 2020. These decisions were not made lightly and were established in consultation with provincial public health guidelines and with the health and well-being of student-athletes and all OUA/OCAA participants at the forefront. The Department of Athletics and Recreation will now focus on supporting our student-athletes as they digest the impact of this announcement while preparing the next steps, once permitted, to allow student-athletes to return to train, keeping their well-being as the key priority.

Learn more about the cancellations on the OUA website and the OCAA website.

Events are Cancelled

As we continue to follow the provincial guidelines around large gatherings, the following events are cancelled:

• In-person instructional programming and classes.
• All intramural and extramural programming.
• All club activities (on- or off-site).
• All interuniversity participation (on- or off-site).
