 WJO COVID-19 safety - Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain
​

​Concerts at the CCFM will continue to require proof of vaccination and masks - vaccination cards which match picture ID must be shown with the ID. Masks must be worn in the venue.  Seating could be up to 100% capacity.

Below is a description of how we are trying to keep you safe at the Mainstage concerts:

We want to provide the safest live music experience possible to our patrons, musicians, volunteers and staff. To do so we ask that anyone planing on attending a live event take the screening test 
here and stay home if they feel at all un-well. We are also providing a streamed version of the Mainstage concerts to Mainstage subscribers so they can watch in their homes. We also provide an online subscription for jazz-loving patrons to continue to enjoy this music in the safety and comfort of their own home. We thank you for following safety protocols to keep fellow Manitobans safe. It is our wish to continue to bring you the best in live jazz music in a responsible and safe manner.

Handicapped patrons who cannot use stairs are asked to self-identify when they purchase tickets and to ushers when they arrive.
​Screening questions:
​Please self screen at this site (https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/) before attending any WJO event. Please stay home if you have any symptoms of COVID and send us an email. We will gladly send you the link to a recorded version of the concert or refund your money.
Sanitization and Safety Precautions:
We ask patrons to follow the health safety protocols as follows:
- Before leaving home, please self-screened by reading the list of questions here.
- We ask that patrons do not arrive more than 30 minutes before a concert. 
- We require that all patrons wear a mask the whole time they are in the venue. (Multi-use WJO masks are for pre-sale on our website here. Disposable masks are provided complimentary if you have forgotten yours.)
- Please sanitize your hands upon arrival.
​- Please keep a six-foot distance from the person in front of you.
- We request a one or two seat distance between "family bubbles or cohorts" - We will attempt a checkerboard design so there will be empty seats in front and beside each cohort. (Sorry no seating preferences.)  We ask that you sit on your coats to facilitate a speedy entrance and exit.
- The concert program will be available on our website a day before and a week after each Mainstage performance. It can be viewed on your phone or mobile device. QR codes for the program will be displayed at thre hall. Pieces will also be introduced during the concert.
​- Patrons will exit, row by row, as shown by ushers.
- We ask that patrons exit quickly and not interact with others in the auditorium or lobby areas.
Venue Safety Precautions:
Our venues all follow health safety protocols as follows:
- seats and high touch points will be sanitized before every concert.
- stanchions will be used to guide lineups and keep people a safe distance from each other.
- barriers will be used in any interaction with patrons that cannot be distanced (scanning tickets, etc.)
- hand sanitizer is available at the entrance and exit
