Montrealers need access to green space, but are encouraged to go to parks in their own neighbourhoods, not travelling across the city to visit other parks. Parking lots in Mount Royal Park were closed this week to limit traffic, and Île Notre-Dame has also been closed altogether. These types of measures will continue, and even more will be put in place in other, popular destinations like the Lachine Canal, which has been extremely crowded.

Hamilton to convert rec centres into COVID-19 self-isolation shelters for homeless residents https://citysharecanada.ca/initiative/hamilton-to-convert-rec-centres-into-covid-19-self-isolation-shelters-for-homeless-residents/ Sun, 05 Apr 2020 15:22:26 +0000 https://citysharecanada.ca/?post_type=initiative&p=960 The City is also working to ensure existing drop-in spots have the resources necessary to stay open. The new “backstop” self-isolation sites will only accept homeless residents who are referred by shelter officials, doctors or hospital authorities. That means the city will not publicly release the rec centre locations.
