As for competitive and recreational sports, the guidelines are a little less clear, but it appears as though they can continue for now if they continue to follow viaSport’s Return to Sport Phase 3 guidance.

“Games, competitions and practices can continue with no spectators and no travel for teams outside of their community,” says the Government of BC website.

Updated public health guidance for all of the activities mentioned above will be available on Nov. 30.
