Roadmap to reopen
The Province of Ontario has announced that we will enter Step 3 of the Roadmap to Reopen as of Friday, July 16 at 12:01 a.m.
The Recreation, Culture and Community Services Department has outlined our roadmap to reopen below. Our goal is to bring back as many services as permitted under the regulations in a staggered fashion so as to not overwhelm our clients and give staff an opportunity to adjust procedures as required.
The FDC Indoor Track will remain closed until the HPEPH Vaccination Centre is no longer in operation.
Please note these plans are subject to change. Please stay tuned to social media for regular updates.
