CARI and COVID Update:
Thank you to all our patrons and tenants for your patience as we continue to follow the COVID 19 directives, as provided by our Public Health Authority. We are working hard to use this unplanned and extended closure of the Bell Aliant Centre for your ultimate benefit, carrying out deep cleans, painting, and launching major capital projects such as resurfacing the Arena Parking Lot and working on a needed dehumidification retrofit for the Aquatics Complex.
Please see the following for an update on the different areas of the complex:
Arena Operations Notice: We will welcome the return of the Andrews Hockey Growth Program on June 15th, with the use of one sheet of ice in the MacLauchlan Arena so that our anchor tenant can carry out a modified summer program. Please note that neither CARI nor Andrews’ Staff will be accepting any other ice rental requests until further notice.
Aquatics Operations: We will not be reopening the Aquatics Complex before September 1st with a further announcement later this summer. This is due primarily to the decision to carry out a significant capital project starting this summer. As such, we can avoid a possible emergency shutdown in the future, from a mechanical failure of the system and get this work completed more efficiently and affordably in an unoccupied space.
Daycamp Operations: Given the current requirements around social distancing and the fact that we will not be able to offer aquatics activities in our camps, we have determined that we will not be offering daycamps at this time. This decision may be reviewed later in the summer, should circumstances change
Administrative Note: All current registrations for summer 2020 daycamps will automatically be refunded in the coming days. Aquatic memberships will continue to be placed on hold until the facility re-opens.

Swimming skills are not necessary, but participants should feel comfortable in water and be prepared to get wet including their hair.
UFIT AQUA
The Bell Aliant Centre and UFIT Inc. have joined forces to offer UFIT AQUA. Based on UFIT’s philosophy of freedom and acceptance, twinned with the benefits of using water as resistance; at the surface it may look like any other aqua fitness class. But it isn’t.

Stop by for a splashing good time!

Sunrise Fitness
This is a variety class to get you moving bright and early! Jump in the pool and get your entire body moving in a variety of ways to start your day off well!
Aqua Zumba®
Known as the Zumba® “pool party,” the Aqua Zumba program gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing, stretching, twisting, even shouting, laughing, hooting and hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba class. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua fitness disciplines, the Aqua Zumba class blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief.
