OTTAWA --
Fitness programs and some city of Ottawa services will reopen for in-person visits next week when the COVID-19 lockdown ends.
Ottawa's move to the "orange-restrict" level in Ontario's COVID-19 restriction framework allows some city services to resume, including fitness programs.
The city says recreation services will restart gradually at some locations. Access to most activities will require reservations in advance.
The following activities and programs will resume at city facilities on Feb. 16:
Public and lane swims at select pools
Aquafitness programs
Sport activities with capacity limits and physical distancing measures
Older adult programming
Reservations for these activities can be made beginning Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. Visit https://ottawa.ca/en/recreation-and-parks/recreation-programs/drop-activities for details.
