Good Morning Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed the nice weather over the holiday weekend.
As you know the Province of Ontario made an announcement on Thursday regarding their roadmap to reopening Ontario. It laid out some provisional dates for when certain activities and businesses are allowed to resume.

As we have seen before, the announcement and information answered some questions, but some specifics are a little ambiguous. There is often some clarification that follows within a few days of the announcement.
We will be able to start the Li'l Sambas programs once the province enters either Stage 1 or Stage 2 of the reopening process. Whether we can start at phase 1 or 2 is something that we hope to be able to clarify soon.
The announcement gave the following provisional dates (all dependent on targets such as % of people vaccinated, # of cases, etc. continue to be achieved)
- The Province will be entering stage 1 on June 14th - if that is the case and we can open the programs at stage 1, the start dates will be June 18th and 19th.
- There will be three weeks between each stage which would mean Ontario would enter stage 2 on July 5th - if that is the case and we can open the programs at stage 2, the start dates will be July 9th and 10th.
In light of the information that we have from the update from the Province, we will be moving our provisional start dates back to June 18th and 19th. This is not a definitive date but is our current best guess of the earliest date that we would be allowed to start the programs.
Thank you again for your patience and we will send another update once we have got some further clarity on the start date,
Take care,
Chris, Sanjeev, and the Li'l Sambas team.
