Ontario’s chief medical officer is promising an answer in the “near future” on the fate of overnight summer camps, but industry sources say it’s probably light’s out because of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the City of Toronto announced Friday it is cancelling all camps and recreation programs. “It’s pretty much not going to happen,” he told the Star. Because many health units publish tallies to their websites before reporting to Public Health Ontario, the Star’s count is more current than the data the province puts out each morning based on a 4 p.m. deadline the previous day. There is a continuing problem that the province’s official case numbers have “not matched public health data,” said NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.
