New Toronto By-Law Impacts Park Use

On April 2, the City of Toronto announced a new temporary by-law related to the use of certain public spaces:

"Any two people who don't live together, who fail to keep two metres of distance between them in a park or public square, will be subject to prosecution and will be liable for a fine of up to $5,000 upon conviction."

This by-law will be in effect for at least 30 days and applies to both the Humber Arboretum at North Campus, and Colonel Samuel Smith Park connected to Lakeshore Campus.

For full details on the new by-law, read the City of Toronto press release.

All City of Toronto park amenities, including parking lots, remain closed. The grounds of the Humber Arboretum remain open for distanced individual and household use. However, the trails of the Humber Arboretum are not being maintained by staff at this time, so use them only at your own risk.
