Wawa & Chapleau Clarify Park Closures

Local municipalities are clarifying closures stemming from the province's tightened stay-at-home order.

The Township of Chapleau says all outdoor playgrounds are closed while the Municipality of Wawa says revised provincial guidance allows the reopening of play structures, benches, and parklands whereever two metres distance can be maintained, though sports fields, basketball courts, picnic tables and areas, park shelters, and tennis/pickleball courts.

The Harry McCluskie Municipal Marina is also closed, though the municipality notes the boat launch is still open and marinas are allowed to be open for the repairing and servicing of watercraft, placing watercraft in the water to be secured until the marina's open, or other services enabling people to access their residence or property.
