A much-anticipated amendment has been made by the Ontario Ministry of Health to their “COVID-19 Guidance: Summer Day Camps“, document released June 1, 2020. It was outlined in version 1 on page 4, point #9:
“Do not plan activities with exposures to animals or pets.”
Since its release, Ontario Equestrian (OE) and Equestrian Canada (EC) have been pressing the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries and the Ministry of Health to amend point #9 to exclude horse or equestrian day camps from their document.
