Oakville moves into Step 1 of the provincial reopening plan starting Friday

The Town of Oakville is happy to welcome you back as we move, along with the rest of Ontario, into Step 1 of the provincial reopening plan starting Friday, June 11. The Roadmap to Reopen is a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures. Step 1 focuses on resuming outdoor activities with gatherings of no more than 10 people, where the risk of transmission is lower.

The Town of Oakville will continue to take a gradual approach to reopening services and facilities. This approach allows the necessary measures to be in place to ensure the safety of staff and residents.

“Thanks to the efforts of our community and our vaccination uptake, public health trends have improved and we can look forward to a safe and gradual reopening of the province,” said Mayor Rob Burton. “As we resume participating in more outdoor activities, outdoor dining and the opening of non-essential retail I encourage everyone to do so safely by following all public health measures and supporting local.”

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

While the provincial Stay-at-Home order expired on June 2, 2021, residents are reminded that all public health measures remain in effect. This means you should continue to maintain a two-metre distance from those outside your household and wear a mask when physical distancing cannot be maintained.
