Humber Arboretum – COVID-19 Status Update

In our efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19, we are providing an update on acceptable public use of the Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology’s outdoor areas and amenities. Circumstances are changing frequently and we will continue to share information as much as possible as new decisions are made. At present: 

  • To discourage congregation in public places, the​ City of Toronto has announced closure of all city park amenities. As a result of the announcement, the parking spaces, picnic tables, gazebos, pergolas, fitness equipment along the West Humber Trail, and other structures within the Humber Arboretum are off-limits until further notice
  • The Arboretum’s trails and natural areas remain open for visitors however they are not being maintained until further notice. Please use your discretion, as you are entering at your own risk
  • It is critical that anyone choosing to visit the Arboretum follow the guidelines for physical distancing, including:
    • visit only alone or with members of your household
    • leave at least two metres (the length of a hockey stick) between yourself and other visitors you may encounter
    • avoid touching surfaces likely to be touched by others, such as the aforementioned off-limit structures or any interpretive signage
    • do not visit if you are feeling ill; if you cough or sneeze while visiting cover your face with your elbow or a tissue you can dispose of immediately and then wash/sanitize your hands
    • do not touch your face, use hand sanitizer, and wash your hands throughly before and after your visit

Thank you in advance for your co-operation in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19.
