The city has once again painted hundred of circles on the grass at Trinity Bellwood as a gentle reminder to residents to keep their distance when hanging out at the popular west end park.
The circles were initially put in place in the park as part of a pilot project last spring after thousands of people gathered in close proximity of one another during a blistering May weekend, prompting a public rebuke from Premier Doug Ford and even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Many park goers had hoped that the circles wouldn’t be necessary this year but with the city still in the midst of a devastating third wave of the pandemic a decision was made to bring them back.
