A Message from the Director & CEO, Stephan Jost: Re-Opening Update

Dear Everyone,

I’m sure you have seen the news, but I am delighted to share that the Ontario government announced that as of January 31st, in the absence of concerning trends in public health and health care indicators, Ontario will follow a phased approach to public health measures with 21 days between each step.

This means that we can re-open the building at 50% capacity on Tuesday, February 1st. Leadership Team is reviewing what this means operationally for some of the onsite work that has been paused or delayed, but we know we will be welcoming back our visitors to our galleries, shopAGO and AGO Bistro. This also means active employees who serve our visitors onsite will not be served layoff notices. This is excellent news!

Thank you and take care,

Stephan
