City of Windsor suspending recreational programs

As the region moves into the red or control level on the province's COVID-19 response framework, the City of Windsor is taking extra steps to protect its staff and residents.

As of Monday, November 30 the City of Windsor is suspending all recreational services at pools, arenas, and community centres for at least two weeks.

“The fact that we have moved three times in the past three weeks is an obvious indicator that the situation in our region is significant, and getting worse,” said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. “It hurts having to take another step back, but that’s what we’ll do, and together we’ll regroup as a community and refocus our efforts on keeping each other safe."

The suspension will include all city-run activities and all rentals for recreational activities.

After-school programming in city facilities will continue, and tenants leasing space in city facilities for after-school programs or non-recreation services can continue.
