This petition is for the people who use the gym to contribute to living a healthy lifestyle both mentally and physically. 

Whether you’re a casual gym user or someone who uses it everyday, it seems insane that the government of British Columbia is trying to shut gyms down amid another COVID-19 “spike”. Most people I know aren’t worried about Covid anymore. That’s why we got vaccinated. Everyone in my gym is vaccinated to fulfill the government regulations but shutting it down is a step too far. 

The gym is much more then a facility where people go to lift weights. It’s a mental health outlet, a second home, a community. 

After hearing the news about the BC government shutting gyms down as of midnight on December 22nd, 2021, I don’t want to just sit back and be silent anymore. I rely on the gym heavily for my mental and physical health just like so many other people I know. 

Sign my petition and let’s see where we can take it.
