The City of Guelph says it is easing restrictions on some outdoor spaces, reopening certain amenities that were previously closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents are now able to play on sports fields, canoe and kayak, fish, park in parking lots and use picnic shelters, pavilions and benches.
Social distancing rules are still in effect and residents must continue to restrict gatherings to five or less and keep a distance of two metres apart from people they do not live with.
