The Square
COVID-19 Safety Plan
St. James Community Square is open and we are committed to the health and safety of our staff and our guests.
When you visit The Square, you can be confident that we have implemented enhanced measures to our already rigorous health, safety and cleanliness standards. St James is following the orders of the BC Health Authority re gathering size, and we employ safe office and building practices.
Our Safety Practices:
- We clean and regularly sanitize the building and we regularly (at night) do full electrostatic fogging of the entire interior, using a safe natural spray product.
- We provide hand sanitizer for building users. Please use it as you enter and leave the building.
- Staff are generally scheduled to work alone. (This may affect office hours.)
- Users may be asked to wipe down doorknobs and other surfaces after their sessions. Users also bring their own safety measures, such entering through one door, and exiting through another, or employing shields.
- Our rooms all have windows. Please open them for additional circulation.
- Masks are required to be worn in the building at all times
- Please do not enter the building if you feel unwell, if you have recently travelled outside the country, or if have been around persons with COVID like symptoms. Instead, please call 811
- Maintain physical distancing of at least 6ft/2m apart and follow all directional signage.
- We ask that only one person at a time use the stairs, lift, and washrooms.
- We request and practice the frequent washing of hands.
- Please respect our evolving room capacity rules.
