The Town of South Bruce Peninsula says its beaches and parks will open Tuesday (June 9) on a restricted trial basis. That includes Sauble Beach.
The Town says it will open for walkthrough only, adding you must not sit, stand, lay, sunbathe, play, or loiter in any Town beach or park.
A media release says pools, splash pads, playgrounds and fitness equipment remain closed, by Provincial Order.
It says you may cross a beach or park to access the water to swim or boat but you cannot stop on the beach or park. If children want to swim, the Town says they must be supervised by someone who is in the water with them (not watch over them from the shore)
The Town warns anyone who uses a beach or park for anything other than walking
through will be fined under the Town Public Nuisance Bylaw. It says all other rules
and bylaws as they relate to parks and beaches continue to apply (ie. no dogs on Sauble Beach, no cooking devices, 4-sided tents etc.)
The Town also notes bylaw officers will be enforcing this with from “zero tolerance” standpoint.
The media release from the Town goes on to say while using beaches and parks, you must social distance and by Provincial order, cannot gather in groups of larger than five, unless from the same physical household (which it says must be proven).
