A mixture of rain and wind marred the first day of tennis courts and beaches reopening in Halifax. The province announced on Friday that they were loosening measures meant to halt the spread of COVID-19.
That means even more opportunities to be outdoors for Nova Scotians who’ve been cooped up at home for months, rain or shine.
As part of the relaxing of public health measures, Halifax officially opened its beaches as of 8 a.m., AT on Saturday. Boat launches at municipal beaches are also reopening.
The municipal government has stressed that there will be no lifeguards present, saying residents will be using municipal beaches at their own risk.
