9:04 a.m. Vaughan is moving to reopen the city’s outdoor ice rinks, a toboggan hill and an off-leash dog park after being closed for almost two weeks.

“Our outdoor rinks, toboggan hill and dog park are reopening with new systems -- like online registration for skaters, increased patrols and mandatory mask usage -- in place to further reduce the spread of this deadly virus,” said city manager Jim Harnum in a statement.

The city temporarily closed the city amenities on Jan. 15 due to the rising COVID-19 case numbers and “people crowding in these spaces while not following public health guidelines around social distancing and mask usage.”

The toboggan hill at North Maple Regional Park and the dog park at 299 Racco Parkway reopened on Wednesday and the city’s five outdoor ice rinks are set to reopen on Monday.
