Following the April 16 announcement by the Province of Ontario, all outdoor recreational amenities such as tennis courts, sports pads, skatepark, soccer fields, basketball courts, etc. are closed (as of April 17), as part of an extended stay-at-home period with greater restrictions. The off-leash dog park will remain open until further notice.
"The situation is serious and the virus is real,” said Mayor Sandy Brown. “To curtail mobility and reduce the spread, the province has had to step up restrictions. The health care system is at the brink, people’s lives are at risk, and now police have enhanced powers. To protect people’s lives, please abide by the provincial and health regulations. We want everyone to come out the other side of this. Give the federal and provincial governments more time to continue vaccinations in this fight against COVID and the deadly variants. Please take care and stay safe.”
Residents are asked to stay home and only go out for essentials such as groceries, health care or essential work. All outdoor social gatherings and organized public events are prohibited, except for with members of the same household or one other person from outside that household who lives alone or a caregiver for any member of the household.
