Please be reminded that we expect Milton SC families to be kind and courteous to the screeners and staff when entering the building. The staff is there to do a job and enforce the rules and guidelines outlined by the provincial government. We thank all of our families that have been supportive during this time and are confident that this will continue.
Please have your proof of vaccination and ID ready before you enter the building as this will help the process move more efficiently.
Thank you in advance for your support and understanding as we move into a busy skating season.
