The Civic Holiday will look a little different this year due to COVID-19 – here’s what you need to know leading up the long weekend:

Splash Pads and Playgrounds

With Stage 3, the Town’s playgrounds and splash pads are now open. Play safe by keeping 2 metres (or 6 feet) apart from those outside your household or social circle, and bring and use your own hand sanitizer frequently.

Parks, Trails, and Outdoor Recreation Facilities

While enjoying parks, trails and other outdoor recreation facilities, stay safe by always maintaining a distance of two metres or six feet between yourself and any person outside your household or social circle.

Protect Others, Wear a Face Mask

Non-medical face masks or coverings are mandatory when inside commercial public spaces in Durham Region. Residents are reminded that wearing a non-medical face mask should not be a replacement for handwashing and should be worn when unable to practice safe physical distancing.

Holiday Service Changes

Town Hall phone services will close at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, July 31, and will reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, August 4.

Whitby Public Library

All Whitby Public Library Branches are closed for curbside pick-up on Monday, August 3. Visit whitbylibrary.ca for access to digital content and program information.

Waste Collection
