Milton plans for Stage 3 of Province’s reopening

Halton Region has been given the go ahead to move into Stage 3 of the Province’s Recovery Framework starting today. This stage allows for the reopening of the majority of businesses and services across Ontario. The Town of Milton will continue to take a gradual approach to reopening services and facilities.

The Town’s gradual approach allows for the necessary measures to be in place to ensure the safety of residents and staff. A new way of doing business is required to continue to fight the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, the Town is identifying longer-term solutions to enable service continuity. These solutions take time to assess and implement. We thank the community for their ongoing support. 

As a reminder, face coverings or non-medical masks are required indoors at Town facilities. Some exemptions apply for activities and individuals.
