Earlier this week, Premier Doug Ford announced that several regions across the province will be entering into Stage 3 of re-opening. As of today, only 10 regions remain in Stage 2 as the rest of the province allows for larger gathering sizes and almost all businesses to re-open.
We have received many emails asking what this means for equestrian businesses. For those who live in an area that has entered Stage 3, the biggest change is the gathering size – 50 max. indoors and 100 max. outdoors, while maintaining social distancing.
Please access the link to the Government of Ontario’s “Framework for Reopening our Province – Stage 3“ and see a helpful chart below pulled from the document. This document outlines which areas of the province have entered into Stage 3 and what that allows. We ask that you review the document, identify if you’re in Stage 2 or 3 and continue to wear a face covering in spaces where physical distancing is a challenge. As we start to venture out to horse shows, hit the trails and visit cottages, we still need to protect ourselves and keep safety at the forefront of our minds.
