Back to a modified Stage 2

As indicated in our former newsletter, Regulation 263/20 (as modified by Regulation 572/20) has rolled certain regions (ie., Ottawa, Toronto and Peel) back to a modified Stage 2 phase from October 10th until at least November 7, 2020. This means a 28-day closure of gymnasiums and exercise facilities.

As a result of the regulation, any indoor fitness amenities (which would exercise and fitness rooms, gyms, weight rooms, etc.) must be closed in condominiums in Ottawa, Toronto and Peel.

Many condominium corporations and rental housing landlords in Ontario received a six-month reprieve from a looming hydro cost hit earlier this week when Minister of Energy Greg Rickford announced that large accounts specifically linked to electricity used in buildings’ common areas will remain eligible for the Ontario Electricity Rebate until April 30, 2021.
