The following is a reminder from the City of London about R-Zone.
Good afternoon everyone,
It is
that time of year where teams are starting to get to the end of the regular
season and enter the playoffs. With the playoffs comes the added level of
excitement and pressure on all those involved from players, coaches, officials,
spectators and especially parents.
We have started to see an increase in disrespectful behaviour towards our staff and others in the arenas. It is therefore a good time to remind everyone that it is the City of London’s expectation that everyone who enters our facilities will treat it and our staff with respect and act appropriately while in the facility. The Rzone policy is in affect and if you want more information or to submit an Rzone incident report you can go to www.london.ca/rzone.
I would like to remind everyone that teams should not be running through our arenas on their way outside for warm-up or on the way back in from warm-up. We have had several accidents and injuries this season of people being knocked over by players as they ran by them. There is absolutely NO RUNNING through the lobby areas. This applies to all arenas including Western fair.
Please pass this message on to all your coaches, convenors and trainers.
We appreciate your assistance in making our arenas a safe environment for everyone.
Mike Vandertuin, City of London Parks & Recreation
