This past year has challenged us in many ways. We’ve had to adapt to new processes and comply with new guidelines in every aspect of our lives: how we work, how we conduct business and how we interact with others have changed. Sometimes these changes can feel frustrating, especially if we want to get out and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts!
So, how can we still make the most of summertime in Oakville under the current provincial/regional guidelines? You’ll be excited to learn that there are several activities you can explore this summer that is safe and family-friendly.
We’ll tell you more about fun events and locations you can find in Oakville to make the most of the next few months.
If you like to spend time outdoors, a visit to Bronte Creek is a great destination to visit! Bronte Creek is one of many Ontario parks that remain open throughout COVID-19. This park offers various outdoor recreational activities that are safe and compliant with current health guidelines.
