Holiday celebrations

Follow the advice from Ontario and Peel Public Health this holiday season, including celebrating only with the people you live with.

Celebrate the holidays virtually with those you don’t live with. If you live alone, you can join one other household to celebrate in person.

To reduce risk, if you meet outdoors, practise physical distancing, stay two metres (six feet) apart from people you don’t live with.

Here are some ideas to help you celebrate safely and support the community.
