Ontario temporarily moved into a “Modified Step Two of the Roadmap to Reopen” on January 5, 2022. With many people receiving COVID-19 vaccination boosters and Omicron variant cases (hopefully!) on the wane, public health measures are set to begin easing on January 31. Businesses and venues in Toronto are preparing to slowly accept visitors again over the next days and weeks. Here are some links to keep you informed about the reopening venues in Toronto from Modified Step Two.
