As the Province begins to relax the restrictions put in place due to the COVID19 pandemic, many of our businesses will open their doors for the first time in months.

We continue to take measures to keep our community safe while making it possible for people to begin to start their lives, realizing a new “normal”.

BEACHES, SHORELINE PARKS AND BOAT LAUNCHES
At this time, there is a Public Health Order in place which keeps our beaches, and parks beside a shore, CLOSED-this includes Sauble Beach and Bluewater Park. Boat launches are open except Bluewater Park which remains closed. By-Law enforcement is patrolling and will ticket anyone who is in a closed area. We thank you for being respectful of the Order and our enforcement officers.

PAID PARKING AT SAUBLE BEACH
We have decided that we will not enforce the Paid Parking program at Sauble Beach until June 27. This program usually begins on June 1 however we realize that these have been challenging times and we want to support our businesses as they begin to slowly open for the summer season. There will be no charge for parking until June 27.

FIRE BAN
Today the Ministry of Natural Resources lifted the Bruce Peninsula Fire Ban. Effective May 16 at 12:01 am, you are now free to have bonfires but please remember they are to be contained to a 2ftx2ft pit and never leave a burning fire unattended.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in South Bruce Peninsula for your patience and support of one another as we navigate through this pandemic. Now more than ever we need to be vigilant and remember that as our community begins to open, we are all in this together. Practice physical distancing, wash your hands, wear face protection and stay safe
