The Corner Brook Civic Centre will be reopening its walking track this coming Monday, October 19th at 8:30 a.m. 

This is made possible thanks to the diligent work from staff, who were weighing the needs of various user groups and their unique COVID-19 protocols along with the provincial Public Health Measures which will regulate the use of the walking track. 

We are pleased to be able to open this facility to the general public once again. The success of the reopening will depend on the cooperation and patience of users during the next few weeks. Below are the guidelines which we have established with the input and cooperation of the Provincial Government, and the Chief Medical Officer of Health. The health and safety of users and staff is our top priority. The City of Corner Brook will continue to monitor provincial guidelines, and will keep you informed of any changes to facility procedures. 

For enquiries on the walking track please call 637-1230.
