Ontario Moved Into Step Three of Reopening Plan

As of July 16, 2021, the province of Ontario will move into Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen Plan. In order to safely enter Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen, Ontario needed to have vaccinated 70-80% of adults with at least one dose, and 25% with two doses. As of July 8, 2021, over 77% of the 12+ population in Ontario had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and over 50% have received their second dose.

Face coverings in indoor public settings and physical distancing requirements remain in place during Step Three.

Step Three reopening includes but is not limited to:
Outdoor social gatherings up to 100 people and indoor social gatherings with up to 25 people
Essential and non-essential retail capacity limited, ensure people can maintain 2 metres distance
Indoor fitness and sports facilities open at 50% capacity

If you need assistance with booking or getting to your appointment, visit our COVID-19 Vaccine Support page.

If you have a second dose booked, you can re-book an earlier appointment. Previously booked second-dose appointments will be honoured and will not be cancelled unless a new and earlier appointment is confirmed.

Individuals who received AstraZeneca for their first dose can book their second dose appointment 8 weeks after their first. Individuals can choose to receive a second dose of AstraZeneca or an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna.

Property Taxes Due

Final 2021 residential tax bills have been mailed and payments are due on August 31 and October 29. Payments can be made at the Town’s dropbox located outside of the Civic Centre, at your bank, online/phone banking or through a preauthorized payment plan.

If your tax account is not current, a pre-set monthly payment can be arranged to help you catch up on tax arrears. Unpaid taxes will be charged 1.25% interest per month effective the first day of default. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt the bill from being due or from incurring interest.

Noise and Firearm Discharge By-law Updates

Share your thoughts on the proposed updates!

The Town of East Gwillimbury is undergoing a review of its Noise and Firearm Discharge By-laws. Proposed updates to the noise by-law include noise readings, aggregate site operation times, a new noise exemption process and more. The new Firearm Discharge By-law is focused on expanded mapping to outline urban non-discharge areas within the Town. Visit our by-law page for more information and to provide feedback!

Lymantria Dispar Dispar (LDD / Gypsy Moths)

Residents are encouraged to continue using burlap to wrap trees for the next few weeks. LDD’s have started to pupate, meaning that feeding has slowed/ will soon stop completely. Caterpillars will begin to form a brown cocoon on leaves or bark, using their hairs as protection. Visit our LDD: Protect Your Trees page for more information.

Applications are open until August 8, 2021.
