As Ontario continues to battle the novel coronavirus pandemic, the City of Barrie will reopen some municipal facilities in response to the province’s Thursday announcement regarding its first reopening stage.

Local officials say the Tiffin Boat Launch will reopen to the public on Saturday, while the Barrie Marina will reopen on May 22. Barrie’s off-leash dog recreation park will reopen on Tuesday, while tennis courts are expected to reopen the week of May 25.

Locations that will reopen are expected to abide by additional protocols.

“We ask for continued patience and understanding as we follow provincial guidelines to gradually reopen our facilities,” Michael Prowse, Barrie’s chief administrative officer, said in a statement.
