It's a big announcement for gyms and rec centres in Niagara and beyond.

Premier Doug Ford says his government is increasing the number of people who will be allowed into these facilities at a time starting tomorrow.

"Up to 50 people will be allowed per room with physical distancing limits in place. These changes will give our business owners the flexibility they need to serve residents and hire back more workers."

The Ford Government is also investing $8-million towards the Ontario Amatuer Sports Fund.

This will benefit sports programs for kids across the province.
