In order to help curb the spread of COVID-19, the City of Burlington is implementing additional restrictions on sports and fitness activities.
To protect the health and safety of residents, the following measures will be implemented:
- All City of Burlington-run indoor fitness classes for Adult 19+ and 55+, including indoor pickleball and aquatic fitness will be paused
- Within City of Burlington facilities, activities are now limited to training only where proper physical distancing can be maintained. There will be no games or scrimmages until further notice
This pause will remain in effect indefinitely, but it will be reviewed frequently and lifted once Halton Region Public Health deems it safe to resume these indoor activities in City facilities.

“Taking this temporary pause now will allow us to come together sooner. Despite our best efforts, we’re still seeing a steady increase of COVID-19 cases in our city. While this news will be disappointing to many residents, we must keep in mind these are truly extraordinary times and they require extraordinary efforts on all of our parts, as a community, to ensure we slow down the spread of this pandemic,” Mayor Marianne Meed Ward said in a news release.
“We will beat this, as long as we stay patient, vigilant, and continue following the advice of our medical and health professionals,” she continued.
