BRANTFORD/AYR - Five more conservation areas have been opened by the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) this month.
Starting today, Brant (Brantford), Byng Island (Dunnville), Elora Gorge (Elora) and Pinehurst Lake will be open for limited activities.
In addition, all buildings and on-site facilities, including washrooms and playgrounds will stay closed.
Visitors are also reminded to practice physical distancing by staying at least two metres or six feet apart and they're also asking the public to plan short visits to these areas to make sure the space can be shared with others.
Also, rental equipment is limited at this time.
