The Riley Park Community Garden is under stewardship of the Vancouver Park Board. We want to update our community on how Step 2 Restart impacts our activities in the garden and park. Step 2 does allow up to 50 people outdoors so that the number of participants at events can increase to 50, where previously VPB were recommending 10. Please note that the garden does require distancing and the numbers will continue to be limited for our activities.
We - that is LMNH and the RPCG - have been asked that all activities continue to involve:
creating a COVID safety plan;
providing training for the groups/program leaders on the safety plan;
having on site signage reminding people to distance, use PPE and sanitize/wash hands and shared surfaces (e.g., tools) frequently;
having each participant complete a health declaration at the start of your activity by acknowledgement orally or by initialling a sign in sheet;
ensuring all participants are pre-registered so contact tracing information is available if needed
avoiding sharing food.
We are all in this together and will continue to host small group gardening sessions. We are adding activities for seniors and other groups on the plaza. If you have any questions please email info@rileyparkgarden.org
Be sure to sign up, join us and check our website for self-guided walks and other resources.
