The City is reminding all residents to follow provincial regulations, City bylaws and @TOPublicHealth advice to help protect against the spread of #COVID19. Limit non-essential travel, wear a mask, maintain a physical distancing and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
The City is working to ensure parks and beaches remain open and accessible for the vast majority of Toronto residents who are following the rules and want to safely enjoy outdoor spaces.
Toronto Police and City bylaw officers will be monitoring parks and beaches, focusing on areas that continue to experience high volumes of people and issues. Bylaw officers are working as hard as they can to monitor and respond to complaints but are not emergency responders.
There are more than 1,500 parks & beaches in Toronto. Everyone needs to respect the rules and do their part to protect pubic health and safety.
Residents are reminded to properly dispose of waste in the bins provided or take it home so everyone can enjoy Toronto’s outdoor spaces
