Protocol for Secondary Sport Competitions: Spectators Welcome at Outdoor Events 

Grand Erie is thrilled to be able to resume athletic programs in our secondary schools this fall, and to welcome spectators back to outdoor games and competitions – with masking and physical distancing in place. Safety is the top priority, so Grand Erie has procedures in place for participants and spectators. For full details, please visit the Grand Erie Protocols for Secondary Sport Competitions webpage. 

Please note that some of our outdoor venues are operated by the City of Brantford, and will have some protocol variations.
