The caution tape and fencing that have blocked off many Okanagan playgrounds will soon be coming down. More than a dozen Okanagan governments are planning a coordinated reopening of playground equipment that has been off limits for months due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The plan is to reopen the playground equipment on June 1, the same day schools across B.C. partially resume classes. Central Okanagan Public Schools has confirmed that it will also be reopening school playgrounds that day.
A joint statement from 13 different Okanagan jurisdictions is asking park users to stay off the equipment until the signage and barriers are taken down, indicating the play equipment is open to the public. [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for
