All public Ontario Parks buildings such as visitor centres will be closed as well. Outdoor recreational opportunities including camping and day use will still be available at operating parks.
Ontario Parks will also enhance cleaning of public areas that remain open, including washrooms.
Individuals or groups wishing to cancel their current reservations for arrivals up to April 30 will be provided a full refund or the opportunity to change their reservation depending on availability, with no penalty.
