Province announces temporary closure
for Ontario cultural facilities

As the Omicron variant continues to increase COVID-19 case counts across Ontario, the Province announced earlier today that it will be temporarily moving into Step Two of its Roadmap to Reopen with modifications.

New restrictions impacting cultural facilities and organizations include the public closure of museums, galleries, landmarks, historic sites and festivals.

This will take effect starting on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at 12:01 a.m. for at least 21 days (until January 26, 2022), subject to trends in public health and health system indicators.

These measures include:

Reducing social gathering limits to five people indoors and 10 people outdoors.
Limiting capacity at organized public events to five people indoors.
Requiring businesses and organizations to ensure employees work remotely unless the nature of their work requires them to be on-site.
Closing indoor meeting and event spaces with limited exceptions but permitting outdoor spaces to remain open with restrictions.
Public libraries limited to 50 per cent capacity.
Closing indoor concert venues, theatres, cinemas, rehearsals and recorded performances permitted with restrictions.
Closing museums, galleries, zoos, science centres, landmarks, historic sites, botanical gardens and similar attractions, amusement parks and waterparks, tour and guide services and fairs, rural exhibitions, and festivals. Outdoor establishments permitted to open with restrictions and with spectator occupancy, where applicable, limited to 50 per cent capacity.
