Resorts Are An Essential Service
Ontario Resorts have been offering four season vacations delivering quality, service and dependability for many, many years. Our unique privately and corporately owned resorts, lodges cottages and Inns have been providing vacations and getaways for you, your families and friends providing rich and carefree memories. The adventures and fun that was had at the resorts are the foundation of your stories, reminiscing on the “good ol’ days”.
As we are all well aware, as a result of the Ontario Government State of Emergency and the Stay-at-Home Order, issued on January 14th, Resorts are considered an essential service. What this means is that due to regulations, guests are welcome for those needing to isolate, quarantine or for an essential worker needing a place to stay (whether a medical or construction worker).
Here is a list of Resorts who are open;
Algonquin Cottage Outpost Log Cabin
Eganridge Resort, Country Club & Spa
Georgian Bay Hotel & Conference Centre
Isaiah Tubbs Resort & Conference Centre
JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa
While several resorts have remained open and provide accommodations for those in need, some resorts have made the decisions to temporarily close during this period of lock down. If you are in need of accommodations, reach out to your local resort to see if they are open.
Resorts are keen to play their part responsibly during the pandemic and we know that there is good news on the horizon, with both getting the pandemic under control, widespread vaccination so we can start to see the light at the end of this long tunnel. When the time is right, we will be able to explore our vast lakes, natural wonders, wide open spaces and so much more, that are right here in our backyard. No wonder it’s known to be Canada’s most popular province. Until then, let’s all do our part and #stayhomeON! Resorts look forward to re-opening their shutters and welcoming you back for the great range of experiences and services we are known for.
