COVID-19 Update

At the LAC, the health and safety of our patrons and visitors is foremost in our minds.  The message from Peel Public Health is that the risk to the Peel community remains low as there is no evidence of community transmission in Peel.  We are therefore making every effort to avoid disruption in our programming and/or services at this time.

Please be assured that we are closely following the instructions and guidelines issued by the national and regional health authorities. A City of Mississauga (and LAC) staff working team for COVID-19 is in ongoing contact with Peel Public Health who is working with the Public Health Agency of Canada, Ministry of Health, Public Health Ontario and other local health providers to monitor the risk and take protective actions as needed.

In accordance with Peel Public Health protocols we are sharing the following information with you, our staff members and volunteers.

The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other more common viruses is to:

• wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose as much as possible
• avoid contact with people who are ill and their items​
• cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing; if no tissue is available, then sneeze or cough into the sleeve or arm
• clean and disinfect objects and surfaces regularly

If you are sick we ask that you not attend your scheduled events.  Symptoms of COVID-19 are mild fever, dry cough, and sore throat.  We know it may be disappointing not to attend an event but keeping the virus from spreading is our first priority.

In addition to these practices the Centre follows a regular facility cleaning schedule and will increase sanitation at high touch points, washrooms, door handles, elevator buttons, automatic door operator plates, toilet flush handles and faucets.
