Ontario Government
Framework for Re-Opening Ontario's Economy 
​Each stage would have between 2-4 weeks to allow for assessment:
  • Stage 1: For businesses that were ordered to close or restrict operations, opening select workplaces that can immediately modify operations to meet public health guidance. Opening some outdoor spaces like parks and allowing for a greater number of individuals to attend some events. Hospitals would also begin to offer some non-urgent and scheduled surgeries, and other health care services.
  • Stage 2: Opening more workplaces, based on risk assessments, which may include some service industries and additional office and retail workplaces. Some larger public gatherings would be allowed, and more outdoor spaces would open.
  • Stage 3: Opening of all workplaces responsibly and further relaxing of restrictions on public gatherings.

Tips for keeping your business secure:
  • Keep lights on
  • Remove ALL cash and receipts
  • Do not leave any valuables clearly visible or accessible
  • All safes and tills should be emptied and moved off-site for safe storage
  • Keep all cash drawers open to show that nothing is in the drawers
  • All ATMs should be emptied and moved off-site for safe storage
  • All alcohol products remove from bar and put in secured storage area
  • Deactivate all scheduled door openings
  • Disconnect all kitchen gas lines from their gas source
  • Make regular visits to your shop/business to manage inventory and storage conditions 
If your business is vacant or closed let Peterborough Police know
  • Information on the program
