The Town recognizes that outdoor activity and exercise is important during this difficult uncertain time.

As the Town would encourage residents to enjoy nature responsibly during the COVID-19 crisis, they would
also like to remind residents to follow all COVID-19 guidelines and enjoy parks and open spaces safely.

In public areas where there are currently no restrictions in place, we encourage all users to follow these
guidelines:

• Stay home if you are exhibiting symptoms or feeling unwell;
• Maintain a physical distance of at least 2 metres at all times;
• If 2 metres is not possible, users should depart the area immediately;
• Wear a mask if social distancing is not possible;
• If using trails, warn other users of your presence and allow for appropriate passing distance;
• Please take your garbage home as Town garbage cans are not sanitized;
• Refrain from using benches and other public amenities during this time;
• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces if needed; and
• Wash your hands immediately when you return home.

The Town is working closely with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit and other community partners to monitor the global situation regarding COVID-19, and to respond accordingly.
