August 31, 2022 - Scent-Free Activity Zones |
As we continue to host weekly recreation activities at the Agriplex, we do wish to remind participating members and guests that we strive to have our activity spaces as scent-free zones. An increasing number of people have developed sensitivities to certain chemicals. Scented products such as perfumes, colognes, aftershaves and other fragrances can trigger personal reactions and adversely affect the health of others including but not limited to headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, upper respiratory symptoms, and shortness of breath. For those attending the Agriplex, please do your part to not wear or use any scented products. Also, when spending time with others, please remember to be kind and considerate. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. |
To participate in activities, you must be an active member and register in advance online using our Recreation Registration. You can also register by visiting our front desk or by calling 519-271-4310 during office hours.
