Today, @ONgov declared a State of Emergency for Ontario and issued a stay-at-home order effective on January 14 at 12:01 am. We are reviewing new Provincial orders and will provide details on how this will impact our services in the coming days.

Over the weekend, Officers patrolled numerous storm water ponds. Ice on these surfaces is unpredictable and we noted open water and very thin ice in certain areas. For your safety, it is prohibited to skate on storm water ponds.

Close to 500 verbal warnings issued at parks across #OttCity this weekend for mask violations, hockey and failure to practice physical distancing. It is imperative that residents follow the rules put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19. While we do not wish to issue charges to residents using these amenities, failure to comply with an Officer’s instructions will result in a fine. https://ottawa.ca//city-implements-25-person-limit-rinks-a #OttNews
