BACKGROUND

The provincial governments have released a framework for reopening the economy. Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference "This is a roadmap, not a calendar." The framework indicates that businesses and outdoor spaces will reopen in three stages, beginning with parks and "select workplaces" that can "immediately meet or modify operations" to adhere to public health directives.

The stages for reopening are as follows:
• Stage 1: Select workplaces that can "immediately meet" public health guidance and some outdoor spaces such as parks
• Stage 2: More workplaces based on risk assessments, which could include some service industries and retail; and some larger gatherings.
• Stage 3: Further relax restrictions on public gatherings and open all workplaces "responsibly." Even in this phase, however, "large gatherings such as concerts and sporting events will continue to be restricted for the foreseeable future."

This is an opportunity for local businesses to connect with each other, to share ideas, strategies, and concerns and to discuss further ways that our community can continue to support our businesses through this very challenging time #SupportTheBurneBiz.
