24-Hour Access & Anti-Tailgating Policy

To protect the safety, security, and privacy of all Bao Institute members, the following policy applies to anyone using 24-hour club access.

Entry and Sign-In

All members must use their own authorized access credentials and sign in at the front door each time they enter the facility. All members with 24-hour access must scan in at all times—no card, no entry. Members may not share access credentials, hold doors open, or allow another person to enter using their access.

No Tailgating or Piggybacking

Tailgating and piggybacking are not permitted at any time. Each person entering Bao Institute must independently use their own valid membership access. This applies during both staffed and unstaffed hours.

Anti-Tailgating/Piggybacking security measures are installed throughout the facility and may be used to verify compliance with this policy.

Guests and Non-Members

Non-members are not permitted in the club after business hours. Members may not bring, admit, escort, or provide access to any guest, former member, or non-member during 24-hour access hours unless expressly authorized by Bao Institute management.

Authorized access only

During unstaffed hours, entry is restricted to active Bao Institute members with valid 24-hour access privileges. Unauthorized persons may be directed to leave immediately and may be treated as trespassing under Ontario’s Trespass to Property Act. A person convicted under the Act may be subject to a fine of up to $10,000. Police may be contacted where appropriate. Ontario’s Trespass to Property Act

Member Responsibility

Members are responsible for ensuring that no one follows them into the facility without independently checking in. If you see someone attempting to enter without authorized access, please do not let them in and report the situation to Bao Institute staff as soon as possible.

Policy Violations

Any member who violates this policy—including failing to scan in, tailgating or piggybacking, allowing unauthorized entry, sharing credentials, or admitting a non-member after business hours—will be charged $50 per offence, per person, and will lose their 24-hour access privileges. Additional membership action may be taken where appropriate.

Thank you for helping us keep Bao Institute safe, secure, and welcoming for every member.
