Step 3 permits outdoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 100 people, with some exceptions, and indoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 25 people.
"We know residents and our local businesses have been eager to enter Step 3 of the Province’s reopening plan, and the town is excited to be able to reopen additional facilities and services permitted under Step 3," said Mayor Rob Burton. "As we resume participating in more activities, please continue to do so safely by following all public health measures and regulations in place."
The town does not require participants of Recreation and Culture programs to provide proof of vaccination. We will continue to follow directions from the Province of Ontario and Halton Public Health. For more information on Halton Region’s COVID-19 Vaccine program, please visit halton.ca.
