Things will look a bit different at the Dauphin Legion when it reopens Thursday, August 6th.
Public Relations Chairman Jean Ste Marie says the Dauphin Legion will operate Monday to Saturday with hours from 11 a.m. — 11 p.m., but that may change depending on how busy things are.
“We’re hoping to be able to maintain those hours, but if business is extremely slow, we just don’t know what’s going to happen because of COVID. That’s kind of a ‘play it by ear’ situation,” she says.
Unfortunately, provincial guidelines mean there will be no Chase The Ace, darts, pool, or cards until further notice, however 3 VLTs will be in operation.
Ste Marie tells us the furniture at the Legion has been rearranged to accommodate social distancing, and patrons will notice a lot more space between tables and chairs.
There will also be sanitization stations, plexiglass barriers at the bar, and masks available for those who want one.
“We have three excellent bartenders. They have all been trained in the sanitization and expectations of how we’re going to proceed. They’re going to be very diligent in keeping the place clean.”
The Legion spokesperson says that once the province lifts its restrictions, the Dauphin Legion is looking forward to safely getting back to normal with their main events.
“When we can get back to normal, we certainly will.”
