The City of Toronto says it will open several recreation facilities so that individuals with disabilities can access physical therapy.
While the current lockdown has forced the closure of gyms and community centres, the province recently amended its regulation giving an exemption to a person with a disability to access recreation, sports and fitness facilities.
Weight rooms, studios, stretch areas and indoor walking tracks will be made available to anyone who meets the provincial criteria to use fitness centres provided they have a medical certificate attesting to a disability as defined by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
