MATTAMY ATHLETIC CENTRE

All visitors to the Mattamy Athletic Centre are required to sign in prior to arrival at the facility. This can be done via downloading the RyersonSafe App. If you do not wish to download the app, you can also access the required health screening by visiting the RyersonSafe Health Screening webpage. The Ryerson contact email to be used is mac.events@ryerson.ca. After you complete the web form, an email confirmation of your screening result will be sent to you from noreply@apparmor.com. This email can be used as proof of screening completion.
All guests must arrive at the facility a maximum of 30 minutes before their booking and leave no later than 30 minutes after the booking has ended. So in other words, you have a 30 min before and a 30 min after. It is very important that you are dressed and out of the dressing room before that 30 time frame.
