The newly opened Boulder Parc in Toronto has published a letter about the current state of climbing gyms in Ontario. Climbers across Canada are awaiting the good news that their local gym will open soon.
“Recently, gym owners in Ontario have banded together to put a plan to safely reopen our doors,” said Boulder Parc. “Although we are not ready to open yet, the collective of gyms in Ontario has put together a statement as follows to send out to our own communities.”
Ontario announced Phase I of their reopening framework under which closed businesses can begin to reopen. “While climbing is mentioned in the context of competitions, there is a lack of clarity as to if or under what conditions we can open for regular business.” See the Instagram post below for more.
