ONTARIO TO MOVE TO STEP ONE ON JUNE 11
The Province will move into Step One of the Roadmap to Reopen at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, June 11, 2021.

PHYSICAL DISTANCE SIGNAGE PROGRAM

Last year the Township of Lake of Bays produced physical distance signage. In May/June 2020, over
80 businesses and organizations around Lake of Bays were provided signs AT NO COST to help our community safely adapt to new ways of doing business.

As the Province enters the reopening phase, we are considering ordering more stock for this season, contingent on budget resources. Please let us know if you need new or replacement signage so we can gauge the amount required.

  • Floor Graphics 12”x12 (removable vinyl anti-slip)
  • Outdoor Signage 24”x16” (4mm coroplast single-sided)

If you are interested in physical distance signs for your business, please contact Leanne Fetterley at [email protected] and indicate the type of number of signs you require.
