As part of the City's continuing efforts to stop the spread of Coronavirus Covid-19, on March 30th, 2020, I signed an order to temporarily close all City-owned playgrounds and other outdoor amenities effective immediately.

As Mayor, I know how important parks are to residents, but playgrounds and other outdoor amenity spaces such as skateparks are gathering places, and the more that people gather, the more that COVID-19 will spread in our community, putting lives at risk.

I recognize that the measures the City must implement and enforce at this time are disruptive, however, our decisions are based on our top priority, which is to protect public health on the strong recommendation of our federal, provincial and local Medical Officers of Health. I implore all citizens to comply with these orders that are in place to protect public health and safety.
