Editorial:
What can we do this March break? March break is officially underway, and while it looks quite different from other years, there’s a lot we can still do to make the most of our well-deserved, mid-semester vacay. Keeping up with changing health guidelines can be confusing, so we created a list of what we can and cannot do to have fun this week in Montreal! Outdoor sports Winter activities such as skating, skiing, tobogganing, and tubing are permitted. Lessons are allowed for up to eight people from more than one household (while socially distancing), along with private training sessions — say hello to learning how to ski! In outdoor parks with controlled access, it may be good to check out the website, because you might have to book in advance. In areas with open access, the rules are more lax: visitor capacity and public health guidelines will be indicated (usually on a sign), so if the park is full, usually they put a notice in the entrance.

Equipment may be rented at a limited capacity, and must be disinfected after each use.
Indoor sports Last week, indoor sports arenas with pools and skating rinks were permitted to reopen, and you may skate alongside people from your household, in pairs, or go solo. Social distancing and restricted capacity are enforced, so check if you have to book in advance with the club or sports arena you’re interested in. Again, equipment may be rented at a limited capacity, and is disinfected after each use.
