On the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health and with the approval of the Ontario legislature, the Ontario government is extending the Declaration of Emergency under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act for a further 28 days until May 12. The extension of the provincial declaration of emergency allows Ontario to continue to enforce current emergency orders, such as the closure of all non-essential workplaces, outdoor amenities such as parks and recreational areas, public places and bars and restaurants, as well as restrictions on social gatherings of more than five people, and prohibitions against price-gouging.

If you have concerns that there are violations of the emergency legislation’s rules,  contact by-law@king.ca or 905 933 4002.  Bylaw will investigate and as appropriate provide education.  For more information on By-law’s authority go to this page and scroll down to By-law section.
