Instead of giving the fitness industry a running start on re-opening @cityoftoronto launches #ParkFitTo w free outdoor classes after shutting down our same services for 16mo.
How can we expect to cross the finish line when our own gov won’t give us a chance to even compete?
Moving from a case based model, to a vax % model puts our industry at 0.0 percent survival.
The rate of transmission is 0.1 percent outdoors.
So opening basketball courts, a full contact sport, without allowing outdoor fitness is based on 0.0 percent logic.

With rumours of another 2wk extension of ONT stay-at-home order, gov officials are recognizing the need for activity and now considering reopening outdoor activities. While we stay-at-home. #makeitmakesense
@fordnation says “no stone will be left unturned” but yet he continues to crush us.
We’re watching him flip pebbles while suffocating under a man-made landslide.

The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto will be forming a community coalition, hosting workshops, both online and in person, and launching a website to combat anti-Asian hate associated with COVID-19 pandemic. @CCCGT@hsdcscarborough#COVID19 https://t.co/6WWDXUO14W
This wknd gov’t officials met for “complex” discussions on whether we con’t to stay-at-home to:
1.) go to Costco
2.) drive north of Steeles Ave
3.) watch our elected officials break orders
4.) witness more small biz con’t to be punished
Wait - where’s the complexity in that?
When our gov’t continues to mishandle these lockdowns while desperately trying to console us with meaningless efforts, it’s like getting flowers from a cheating boyfriend.
Too little, too late. The damage has been done.
And I hate carnations.

Hiding the alarming # of cases from distr. centres helps no one. No protection/support for employees + their families while perpetuating the destructive rhetoric that small biz are contributing to cases.
But health officials are just here “to say what they’re told to” so...
The Welcome TO Winter Parks plan’s a slap in the face to our small businesses. The hypocrisy to get ppl outside exercising for physical + mental health, while quietly updating restrictions to prohibit outdoor fit classes is unpalatable. @JohnTory cont’ to work against not with us
“It’s not fair”?! @fordnation Our small businesses are left deciding how much inconceivable debt they’re willing to live with now or later.
The choice between holding your breath or trying to breathe underwater. Without air or a lifeline, our Main St will be left lifeless.
Wondering how you can continue crushing those outdoor workouts this winter?
@chloebent asks @FitSquadJenn, @JohnStantonRR + @runthesix for their advice on how to prepare yourself for cold weather runs:

Our govt’s lack of care + competency to save our small businesses is intolerable. How many more sleepless nights must we endure while big box retailers operate at full capacity b/c anything less would be “a logistical nightmare for them”. Guess what. This IS our nightmare.
