Restaurants and gyms reopening in York, Peel, Ottawa Nov. 7

Sep 1, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Indoor dining and gyms will be reopening in York, Peel and Ottawa this week, as part of the new COVID-19 guidelines released by the Ontario government today. Toronto will follow shortly. 

The new system, announced Nov. 3, will track the trends of Ontario’s regional health units and rank them by a series of five colour-coded categories, in an effort to provide ongoing transparency as to where each region stands.

As of Nov. 7, York, Peel and Ottawa will be moving out of modified Stage 2 and into what is now called the “restrict level,” or “orange level,” which means indoor dining can resume and gyms and theatres can reopen — but with additional protective measures such as no alcohol served after 9 p.m. and three-metres of distance between people exercising, up from two metres.

As well, Eastern Ontario will be moving into restrict level, as a preventative measure. Brant, Durham, Halton and Hamilton will be entering the “protect level,” also know as the “yellow level.”

Toronto will be joining the four regions at the restrict level on Nov. 14, as per the request of Toronto Mayor John Tory and Toronto’s medical officer of health Eileen de Villa, Premier Doug Ford said. 

The rest of the Ontario regions will remain at the “green” or “prevent level,” until further notice. The data will be reviewed and updated on a weekly basis.

“It’s clear COVID-19 will be with us for a while, which is why we are putting in place a framework that will protect the health and safety of individuals and families, while avoiding broader closures across the province,” Ford added. 

“This framework, developed in consultation with our health experts, will serve as an early warning system allowing us to scale up and scale back public health restrictions on a regional or community basis in response to surges and waves of COVID-19.

Here is a breakdown of the levels: 

Green (Prevent): State similar to Stage 3, with certain high-risk locations remaining closed.

Yellow (Protect): Increased enforcement and fines for those not following the guidelines.

Orange (Restrict): Enhanced restrictions in an effort to prevent further closures.

Red (Control): Return to modified Stage 2, with further restrictions and the closure of some businesses or organizations.

Gray (Lockdown): A return to a modified Stage 1 and a declaration of emergency will be considered.

Wasaga Beach will back YMCA for six months to keep it in the black

Jul 14, 2021 , , , , by shlf

The town will be contributing to the financial fitness of Wasaga’s YMCA.

Council’s co-ordinated committee has recommended the municipality support the Y through its first six months of being open following its lengthy closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the tune of nearly $50,000.

According to a report from director of recreation, events and facilities Chris Roos, the amount was settled upon following discussions with the Y, and an analysis of the facility’s financial statements by the town’s treasurer.

“We have an accurate model that works within the ceiling of the recommendation ($49,147),” Roos told the committee.

Y officials had initially requested the town provide financial support for its operational budget for the next two years — up to $900,000 — or until the facility reached a break-even point.

Roos said the expectation is the Y should see a return of 50 per cent of its membership by June, which would put the facility in the black.

However, he added, there is no certainty how many Y members — there were 3,300 members of the Wasaga facility prior to the pandemic — might come back.

“It is a much-condensed program offering, and the hours are reduced … but it models against the number of participants they have, so they are in a break-even situation by the end of the six month(s),” Roos said.

The Wasaga Y is expected to open on Jan. 4.
