COVID-19 Updates and Information

Ontario Moved Into Step Two of Reopening Plan

On June 30, 2021, the province of Ontario moved into Step Two of the Roadmap to Reopen Plan. In order to safely enter Step Two of the Roadmap to Reopen, Ontario needed to have vaccinated 70 per cent of adults with at least one dose, and 20% with two doses. As of June 23, 2021, over 76% of the 18+ population in Ontario had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and over 29% have received their second dose.

Step Two includes but is not limited to:

Outdoor social gatherings up to 25 people
Indoor social gatherings with up to 5 people
Essential and other select retail permitted at 50% capacity
Non-essential retail permitted at 25% capacity
Outdoor fitness and sports facilities open at 25% capacity

To read the full list, visit our Roadmap to Reopening: Step Two article.

Second Dose Eligibility

As of Monday, July 5, all individuals 12+, who live, work or attend school in York Region who received their first dose at least 28 days prior, can book their second dose appointment at www.york.ca/COVID19Vaccine

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.

AstraZeneca

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. Visit www.york.ca/COVID19Vaccine to book a second dose appointment or contact the pharmacy, clinic or primary care provider where you received your first dose to make your appointment.

Public Notices

Thank You #EGDigitalPride

Thank you to the wonderful EG residents for helping to spread love, awareness and support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community through your chalk drawings and messages.

As pride month comes to an end, it is important to remember that there is still a long way to go. Please continue to support and celebrate the 2SLGBTQ+ community, diversity and inclusivity in EG. Share the love and together we can continue to uplift their voices. Visit our Pride Month page to participate in the Digital Pride Parade on July 9 and Closing Party on July 16, both at 7 p.m.

Outdoor Water Use By-law

Low rain fall in the spring has contributed to early drought conditions. It is recommended that businesses and residents reduce water consumption while the dry weather continues.

Water may only be used outdoors from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and your address affects which days of the month you are permitted to use water outdoors. For more information about EG’s Outdoor Water Use By-law, visit our Water Conservation page.

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.
