Dear Everyone,

Due to the continued rise in the number of COVID-19 infections, this afternoon Premier Ford announced that the City of Toronto will remain under lockdown and restrictions will not be lifted on Monday, December 21. The Premier will make an announcement on Monday at 1pm about further restrictions as we head into the holiday season. This means that the AGO will continue to be closed to the public until further notice. We anticipate that this will extend into January.

I know that this uncertainty is hard. We must follow the directive of our public health professionals and the government as the health, safety and well-being of our visitors, employees, volunteers and our extended AGO community is always our top priority.

I will provide an update on Monday as soon as we hear more.

Sincerely,

Stephan
