Welland Officials Reminding Residents of New Limits on Outdoor Activities

The city is asking residents to remember to play it safe as more of us head outdoors during the pandemic.

Officials asking visitors to outdoor ice surfaces to exercise caution before skating because the ice may not be fully formed and thin in areas.

Residents are also asked to wear a mask or face covering, leave any non-essential personal belongings at home and ensure physical distancing is maintained while on the ice surfaces or taking part in other outdoor activities such as walking, cross country skiing or tobogganing.

The city also notes, outdoor recreational amenities are open with restrictions, for example, no team sports such as hockey are to be played or practiced. 

Starting tomorrow the province is restricting outdoor organized public gatherings and social gatherings to a limit of five people.
