Ontario's New COVID-19 Response Framework

Clubs, Coaches and Paddling Community

Ontario has released a new COVID-19 response framework (guidelines and proposed regulations and be found here).  

Key areas for review:

1. The framework includes an early warning system that allows the provincial government to scale up and scale down public health restrictions on a regional or community basis (p.9).
2. The framework outlines what level your region is currently in based on a colour code system (p.10).  Note:  decisions on moving public health unit regions within the framework will be reviewed weekly.
3. Specific measures for sports and recreational fitness are based on your regions current level/colour code (p14).
4. This framework should be considered a draft plan.  The final plan will be confirmed on Friday, November 6th and become effective on Saturday, November 7th at 12:01 am.
5. All clubs must also continue to follow their own regional public health regulations in addition to the provincial plan.

This new framework is a great opportunity for clubs to run their winter operations with appropriate safety measures in place.  Additional information can be found here.  If you have any questions please let me know.
