Bulletin - URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Following advice from Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, on April 3, 2020, Ontario updated the list of essential businesses that can remain open. The restrictions are aimed at further reducing contact between people and stopping the spread of COVID-19.
By 11:59 p.m. Saturday, April 4, 2020, businesses that are not identified on this list must close their physical locations. The revised list can be found here https://www.ontario.ca/page/list-essential-workplaces
In Transportation Services, note 21, section c the language is quite clear “ marinas, but only to the extent that the marina is necessary to enable individuals to access their primary place of residence”
We have just completed a call with your Board of Directors and our lobbyist and share the collective opinion that there are no exceptions. It is our further understanding that this will remain in place until April 18th.
We urge you to respect what is being asked by our government and we will continue to keep you posted as this ever changing situation continues to evolve.
Please
Stay safe
Stay healthy and
STAY HOME
