The City of Kingston has announced the reopening of municipally-run boat launches as of Tuesday, with a few exceptions — all boat launches at city-run marinas will remain closed.
The decision comes after the province allowed certain businesses and projects in Ontario to open May 4 as part of its novel coronavirus reopening plan, like garden centres and essential construction projects.
Boat launches were not mentioned in the province’s updates. The city said the decision was made after looking at provincial orders and seeking advice from KFL&A Public Health.
