Published Friday, July 9, 2021 11:42AM EDT Last Updated Friday, July 9, 2021 3:12PM EDT Toronto’s decision to issue hundreds of tickets to people found using closed park amenities in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic was “generally unfair” given the “fragmented” and “confusing” messaging around what was and wasn’t allowed, a new report from the city’s ombudsman has found. Ombudsman Susan Opler conducted an enquiry into Toronto’s enforcement of COVID-19 rules in city parks over a six-week period in the spring of 2020 after receiving 10 separate complaints from people who “felt they had been penalized not for flouting the COVID-19 rules on the use of city parks, but for simply being unaware of them, or not fully understanding them.”
Well-Run City & City Finances As a city we are experiencing one of the most challenging periods in our recent history. The economic, social and health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be overstated, reads the RecoveryTO page. The pandemic continues to have impacts on efforts to advance equity and Indigenous reconciliation throughout our society. While the City continues to respond to the immediate needs of our residents, communities and business, we also continue to lay the foundation and take action for the social and economic recovery of our City.
