With this week’s Provincial announcement that Niagara Region can move to Stage 3 in the Framework for Reopening the Province, Township owned playground equipment will start opening for use Friday July 24th, 2020. Updated safety signage will be put at each playground reminding parents and children that the equipment is not sanitized and to use at your own risk.
Sports fields will become open for bookings and organizations will be granted permits once safety measures, new protocols following public health guidelines and inspections are concluded.
Also effective July 24th at 12:01am, the indoor gathering limit is increased to 50 people while maintaining physical distance measures and the outdoor gathering limit is increased to 100 people also while maintaining physical distance measures.
To ensure that we stay in Stage 3 vigilance is absolutely necessary:
Mayor Bylsma stated,
“Staff and Council have been eager to get to these days recognizing the responsible protocols to ensure that won't move backward. The patience of our residents has been stellar and our low case counts reflect this diligence. Hopefully we can continue this trend."
