Are you looking for a way to celebrate Mother’s Day during COVID-19? Consider alternative ways to celebrate and connect with each other. It’s difficult, but it’s the right thing to do.
It is strongly recommended that households do not come together and visit at this time to stop the spread of COVID-19. Remember, social gatherings with 5 or more people are not permitted through an emergency order from the Government of Ontario. This order can be enforced and is punishable by fines. Gathering with anyone outside of your household, even if there are 5 people or less, is not recommended.
