Relaunch - Stage 1
While some restrictions are lessened at some sites, we also are preparing for the return of a few services and activities that were deferred during the pandemic stage.
It is important to note that any proposed reintroduction of activities may be put on hold if the climate changes or we are given new orders from the Chief Medical Officer of Health.
Below are examples of activities and actions that may take place at this stage of the relaunch. They are not limited to the listed activities and will be updated as more information is given.
