Welcome back to Downtown Milton! Our businesses have reopened or are operating at a greater capacity again, and we are excited for a safe and socially distanced summer. With the following restrictions in place our community can enjoy restaurants, shops and more while respecting one another. New amenities such as indoor dinning, increasing capacities in retail stores and the reopening of personal care services will be in effect in Downtown Milton during stage three.

Face coverings in indoor public settings and physical distancing requirements remain in place throughout step three, face coverings will also be required in some outdoor public settings as well. This is in alignment with the advice on personal public health measures issued by the Public Health Agency of Canada, while also accounting for Ontario specific information and requirements.

We are excited to see you all again!

  • Outdoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 100 people with limited exceptions;
