Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries,has announced that starting with the Toronto Raptors, Ontario will allow professional sport training facilities to reopen:
“While it is imperative to do everything we can to stop the spread of COVID-19,” the minister said, “we need to carefully and cautiously begin to reopen the economy. This is a critical sector for Ontario as sport represents more than $12.6 billion to Ontario’s economy and thousands of jobs across the province.”
She said she will allow a similar relaxation for other pro sports as soon as they can demonstrate a rigorous protocol for reopening that will prevent a recurrence of COVID spread. The minister’s statement can be found here:
