The City of Vaughan says to further limit gatherings and promote the provincial government's message of staying home, it's closing some city-run facilities.

In a statement, the City says as part of the "disciplined, responsible and measured approach to COVID-19" it is closing its outdoor skating rinks, toboggan hill and dog park effective immediately.

This comes after the provincial government declared another state of emergency earlier this week.

The amenities include:

The skating rinks at Chancellor Community Centre, Dufferin Clark Community Centre, Father E. Bulfon Community Centre, Garnet A. Williams Community Centre and Vellore Village Community Centre;
the toboggan hill at North Maple Regional Park;
and the dog park at 299 Racco Parkway.

"All decisions about closing and opening facilities continue to be informed by Vaughan-specific data and reflect guidance issued by York Region Public Health and the provincial government -- with public safety being the priority," the City's statement reads.
