The Town of Bracebridge is asking you to refrain from using municipal parks and open space areas.
Town playground equipment and the Skate Park have been closed.
The Town is reminding about the need for social distancing and is posting signs at parks, open spaces, sport courts, ball fields, dog park, picnic shelters and other areas where it can be difficult to maintain the recommended social distancing guidelines.
The public is to refrain from using these areas until further notice.
The Town is also reminding residents that Town trail conditions are currently unsafe due to extremely icy conditions and regular seasonal flooding.
In public areas where there are currently no restrictions in place, the Town encourages all users to follow these guidelines:
• Stay home if you are exhibiting symptoms or feeling unwell;
• Maintain physical distance of at least 2 metres at all times;
• If 2 metres is not possible, users should depart the area immediately;
• 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 of Bracebridge 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.
