Arena Dressing Room Policy

This policy is to help keep dressing rooms and change areas safe, respectful, inclusive, and comfortable for all skaters, families, coaches, and volunteers during our special events. This policy applies to all skaters, parents/guardians, coaches, volunteers, and Board members at Skate Wheatley events and programs.

1. Inclusive and safe spaces:

• All dressing rooms are co-ed/gender neutral (Pre-Can/Canskate)

• Parents or guardians may assist young skaters when needed

• During events like carnival, picture day, or shows when quick changes are needed, the club may set up separate male and female change rooms

• At these times, male parents/guardians are asked not to enter change rooms used by female skaters.

4. Clean and respectful use:

• Keep rooms tidy and take belongings home.

5. Behaviour expectations:

• Bullying, teasing, rude language, or any inappropriate behaviour is not allowed

• Respect other skaters’ belongings:

• Do not move, open, or play with items that aren’t yours.

6. Valuables:

• Skate Wheatley is not responsible for lost or stolen valuables, bring only what you need

This policy may be updated by the Board if laws, facility rules, or circumstances change.
