Some water fitness classes previously cancelled are able to resume thanks to clarification on the latest coronavirus restrictions.
Aquafit and Aqua Therapy group classes can continue at the Vernon Recreation Complex, as public swimming pools have an exemption within the Gathering and Events Order, according to the office of the Provincial Health Officer, which issued a clarification April 1.
Recreation services had cancelled classes following the PHO announcement this week that indoor group fitness classes of any kind were being paused.

Recreation Services is working on logistics for classes to start again sometime following the holiday long weekend. Once details are finalized, registered participants will be contacted with the date for the restart of their class.
Youth activities and adult activities with individual participation such as swimming, fitness gym, walking and public skating were not affected by the order and are ongoing.
