Ontario Soccer continues to work in consultation with the Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries as we communicate important government directives and updates related to the current global pandemic.

The Government of Ontario announced on Mar. 9, 2022 that it is relaxing public health measures, in response to the recent status of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of those changes, effective Mar. 21, 2022 at 12:01 a.m. the Government of Ontario will remove the masking requirements for sport and recreational fitness facilities.

As a result of this announcement, for those that access the Ontario Soccer Centre, you will no longer be required to wear a mask while in the facility as of Mar. 21, 2022.

Ontario Soccer’s Return to Play Guide will be phased out by the end of April, when the Government of Ontario is scheduled to lift the remainder of public health measures and will soon be replaced with a Best Practices Guide for organizations to use, as they deem appropriate.

Organizations are encouraged to develop their own Best Practice plans in accordance with the Government of Ontario and their local Public Health Unit.
