Due to the ongoing forecast, as outlined in Environment and Climate Change Canada’s special weather statement(link is external), City sports fields, ball diamonds and parks have been impacted and are closed on Friday, August 9. Heavy rainfall can cause water to pool, and using these areas in wet conditions can lead to damage.

Parks and sports fields are scheduled to reopen on Saturday, August 10. Ball diamonds will remain closed to allow the infields to dry out from significant water ponding and are expected to reopen on Sunday, August 11.

Please refrain from using affected spaces until they have dried sufficiently.
