Vancouver Island Retriever Club Covid-19 Protocols

Please read the following protocols which have been established to promote health and safety of everyone while attending the trial. It is assumed that sending in your entry means you accept and will abide by these protocols.

If you are sick, please do not attend the trial. Anyone returning from international travel and required by law to self-isolate may not attend the trial. Entries will be refunded.

All attendees (handlers, judges, marshalls, gunners, helpers, visitors) are required to follow protocols that apply to the region (province) where the event is held.

All attendees are encouraged to bring their own personal protection equipment (face covering, gloves, sanitizer) and essential supplies. All attendees may wear gloves or face coverings at their discretion when helping, in the gallery, or running a dog.

We encourage all those participating to be respectful of the community they are visiting. If food or lodging is required, please research and arrive prepared.

Practice physical distancing with individuals that are outside your bubble. Avoid congregating to the extent possible, only small groups of 2 to 6 people, keep 2 m apart, avoid handshaking and hugging, and limit your time together, especially in the gallery.

Where maintaining physical distance is not possible, it is recommended using a non-medical mask or face covering.

Avoid touching dogs or equipment that are not your responsibility.

Park with sufficient distance between vehicles if possible.

Follow the marshall’s instructions regarding running order and entering the holding blinds.

Any special instructions from the judges will be posted in the last holding blind.

Handlers will be invited to the line in smaller groups. It is possible, depending on your number, that you will not see the test dog run from line. You will have the opportunity to see other dogs run from the holding blind.

Anyone on line should maintain adequate distance from the handler as blowing a whistle could project a vapour.

Handlers will deposit birds in a bucket, for judges’ inspection after the handler leaves the line to ensure physical distance is maintained.

Judges are encouraged to bring their own equipment – judges books, chairs, coolers, pens/pencils, flagging tape, sunscreen, bug spray.

Hand sanitizer will be made available.

All shared equipment will be wiped between users.

If anyone is uncomfortable using any shared or provided items/equipment, they are encouraged to bring their own. Please do not be offended if you are reminded of these protocols during the event; as Dr. Henry says “we are all in this together”.
