Following the new guidelines issued by the Government of Ontario, the City of Brampton has compiled a list of things you can and cannot do as of May 22.

Outdoor Recreational Amenities

Outdoor recreational amenities now permitted include golf courses and driving ranges, soccer and other sports fields, baseball diamonds and batting cages, tennis and basketball courts, lawn bowling and bocce, BMX and skate parks and splash pads.

What is not allowed under the new rules

Outdoor fitness classes and team sports (including practice) on fields or courts are not permitted. Outdoor pools remain closed.

Social Gatherings

Outdoor limits for social gatherings and organized public events will be expanded to five people, which will allow these outdoor amenities to be used for up to five people, including members of different households.

Public health measures update

The Province’s newly announced Roadmap to Reopen is a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures based on the province-wide vaccination rate and improvements in key public health and health care indicators.

Both the Provincial declaration of emergency and the stay-at-home order remain in place until at least June 2. The stay-at-home order requires everyone to remain at home with exceptions for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for essential work.
