NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS
***********************
The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise residents that there will be enhanced patrols and enforcement efforts at the Tomahawk Golf Course and Recreational Complex by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and town bylaw enforcement officers in response to increased incidents of trespassing and vandalism.
The town reminds residents that the Tomahawk Golf Course and Recreational Complex remains closed until further notice under the provincial stay-at-home order and that there is zero-tolerance for trespassers that violate the provincial or public health regulations.
“Despite posted closed signs along the grounds, we continue to see damage caused from trespassers in the area,” says Ryan Gibbons Director of Community Services. “Town staff have installed additional signage to further clarify that the facility remains closed due to the current provincial stay-at-home order.”
In addition to an increase in signage, the OPP will be enhancing patrolling efforts in the surrounding area of the Tomahawk Golf Course and Recreational Complex, where any violators of the provincial order will be ticketed.
The town reminds residents to keep up-to-date on current public health guidelines before heading outdoors and to visit the town’s COVID-19 Interactive Map to view open and closed recreational areas during this period.
The Tomahawk Golf Course and Recreational Complex, along with other closed town facilities, will be re-opened following the conclusion of the stay-at-home order or modification of the order by the provincial government.
When town facilities are permitted to re-open, the town will do so following the guidance of the Grey Bruce Public Health Unit.
