COVID-19 Guidance & Reopening

Dear WCC Community,

We are excited to announce that due to the recent positive downward trends of COVID-19 in Massachusetts, Governor Baker has increased capacity limits on businesses, like the Whitin Comunity Center to 40%. This increased capacity will begin on Monday, February 8th at 5:00am. Please understand that this new capacity increase has no effect on our Blackstone Valley Children’s Place and Rockdale Youth Center. 

The WCC will continue to follow the strict health & safety guidelines by following the 6ft social distancing throughout the WCC, 14ft social distancing in the fitness center and in aerobic classes, and maximum caps on classes per location. Therefore, based on these new guidelines, only the following will be increasing at this time:

• Spin – Maximum Cap, 5
• Aerobics in Spin Studio & Aerobics Studio – Maximum Cap, 5
• Outreach Swim – Maximum Cap, 30 
• Outreach Crafts – Maximum Cap, 13
• Outreach Gym Activities – Maximum Cap, 20

The WCC will continue to make every effort to do our part to keep our community safe, as we care deeply about each and every one of you. Please remember to do your part by staying home if you are sick, maintaining 6ft physical distance, and wearing your mask at all times. Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your continued support of the Whitin Community Center! 

Warm Wishes,

Heather Elster

Executive Director
