Why Choose Riversdale Athletics Club?
Vaccination Policy
Riversdale follows the update to the Sask Athletics Vaccine Mandate
It is no longer required for individuals to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to be a member of Saskatchewan Athletics. Participation in sanctioned Saskatchewan Athletics events no longer requires proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
In order to be a member of any provincial teams, athletes, coaches, and team staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (2 doses).
Saskatchewan Athletics will follow the policies of Athletics Canada. All athletes, coaches, fans, volunteers, media and event staff and contractors on site for an Athletics Canada event or activity will be required to comply with local public health guidelines. Athletics Canada’s current vaccination policy can be viewed here.
