Government Shelves Outdoor Sports

Doug Ford’s Conservative government has put a halt to outdoor sports.

The most recent lockdown restrictions tightened outdoor sporting opportunities including closing football/soccer fields, baseball diamonds, skate parks, BMX parks, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and golf courses.

The news came with mixed reviews.

With COVID-19 cases surging, the Provincial government imposed additional lockdowns to slow the spread of the deadly COVID virus, which extended to outdoor sporting activities.

The restrictions will run through the duration of the current 6-week stay-at-home order.
