Conservation Halton Administration’s Office will be closed to the public but it will continue to operate through phone and email communications.
“We understand the importance of access to nature for community health and wellness, so we have worked to keep as many of the trails as possible open for public access,” Hassaan Basit, Chief Administrative Officer, said in a news release.
“With so many of our industry partners closing to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we feel it is our responsibility to support these efforts,” he continued.
Conservation Halton will reassess park operations on April 6.
