The Toronto Board of Health is calling on the provincial government to reverse its decision to close outdoor amenities under the Reopening Ontario Act amid the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At a meeting on Monday, members of board voted unanimously in favour of a motion to request that the Ford government lift the ban on outdoor recreation facilities, which have been closed for nearly a month.

Last month, Premier Doug Ford implemented a provincewide lockdown and stay-at-home order in an effort to bring surging COVID-19 cases under control. As part of the restrictions imposed by the province, outdoor amenities, including tennis and basketball courts as well as golf courses, baseball diamonds, and soccer fields, were forced to closed.

Shortly after the restrictions were implemented, the province’s Science Advisory Table confirmed that it had not recommended that course of action and in a report, the group noted that the province should be “clearly encouraging safe outdoor activities” and “allowing small groups of people from different households to meet outside with masking and two-metre distancing.”
