The Government of Ontario released their COVID-19 Roadmap to Reopening to help keep the Province safe and open. The Roadmap to Reopen is a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures.
The plan is based on:
Guiding principles
Step 1: An initial focus on resuming outdoor activities with smaller crowds where the risk of transmission is lower, and permitting limited indoor settings with restrictions.
Step 2: Further expanding outdoor activities and resuming limited indoor services with small numbers of people and with face coverings being worn.
Step 3: Expanding access to indoor settings, with restrictions, including where there are larger numbers of people and where face coverings can’t always be worn.
Moving through the steps
The province will remain at each step for at least 21 days to evaluate any impacts on key public health and health system indicators. It can take up to two weeks for COVID-19 vaccinations to offer protection against the virus.
In all steps of the Roadmap, we must all continue to follow the public health measures, advice and restrictions.
Ontario is currently in Step 3 of the Roadmap as of July 16, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. based on the provincewide vaccination rate and continuing improvements in key public health and health system indicators.
Step 3 of the Roadmap focuses on the resumption of additional indoor services with larger numbers of people and restrictions in place. Please read the 2021-07-13 Notice re Ontario moving to Step 3 for more details.
The province will remain in Step 3 for at least 21 days and until 80% of the eligible population aged 12 and over has received one dose of a COVID-19covid 19 vaccine, and 75% have received their second, with no public health unit having less than 70% of their eligible population aged 12 and over fully vaccinated.
Other key public health and health care indicators must also continue to remain stable. Upon meeting these thresholds, the vast majority of public health and workplace safety measures will be lifted.
Badminton Ontario also reminds all member clubs and registered individuals, that all activities must adhere to Federal and Provincial (Ontario) legislation, as well as any municipal bylaws and facility rules in place related to COVID-19 physical distancing and public or private gatherings. Failure to abide by these federal, provincial, or municipal requirements may result in legal prosecution by government as well as denial of insurance coverage and possible disciplinary measures by Badminton Ontario.
The only persons permitted to use the facility are athletes who are members of the affiliated club for the 2020-2021 season as identified by the PSO beginning in September 2020; this may also include those who are members of the affiliated club for the 2019-2020 season where their individual club membership extends into the 2020-2021 season.
Badminton Ontario will continue to provide updates as part of our commitment to a safe return to play and training for all.
