However, it is important to remind ourselves that we are still dealing with a serious pandemic. If given permission, It is absolutely essential to operate in a manner that protects your employees, clients and the general public. Our professional image is at stake. It is not business as usual.
We need to consider ourselves Safety Companies that happen to be in the Landscape profession. We need to show the government we can be trusted.
We are expecting a new list of essential services next week. Until there is an official change announced, we have received information from the Ontario government through a number of our municipal partners that certain activities are permitted in certain municipalities under the
existing orders for property maintenance.
It is important to note that certain municipalities are interpreting the April 3 list more strictly, but this is what we have heard from a number of municipal partners that checked with the 1-800 number. You will have to check with your municipality and use your discretion to keep your companies, clients and staff safe.
If you have not already done so, please update your safety policies and implement protocols that will prevent Covid-19 from spreading. Visit our resources page for
practical advice.
In the next few weeks we will be featuring more information and practical tips about Covid-19 safety. This is the priority.
