Oakville enters Step 3 of the provincial reopening plan

As of Friday, July 16, the Town of Oakville is in Step 3 of the provincial reopening plan.

Step 3 permits outdoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 100 people, with some exceptions, and indoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 25 people.

“We know residents and our local businesses have been eager to enter Step 3 of the Province’s reopening plan and the town is excited to be able to reopen additional facilities and services permitted under Step 3,” said Mayor Rob Burton. “As we resume participating in more activities please continue to do so safely by following all public health measures and regulations in place.”

The province will remain in Step 3 for at least 21 days before the majority of the remaining restrictions are lifted. Residents are reminded that all public health measures remain in effect. This means you should continue to maintain a minimum two-metre distance from those outside your household and wear a mask when physical distancing cannot be maintained.

The town does not require participants of Recreation and Culture programs to provide proof of vaccination. We will continue to follow direction from the Province of Ontario and Halton Public Health. For more information on Halton Region’s COVID-19 Vaccine program, please visit the Halton Region website.

The Town of Oakville will continue to take a gradual approach to reopening services and facilities to ensure the safety of staff and residents.

Updates to town programs and services as a result of the Province’s phased reopening plan will be posted on the town’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.
