This post will take a look at what the SAH Order and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rules for Areas in Stage 1<\/a> say. I\u2019ll note what seem to be the most relevant sections, but it is not an exhaustive list. Of course all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200082#BK4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">general rules<\/a> continue to apply to activities the government allows.<br><br>The SAH Order has a part called \u201cObtaining Goods and Services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Section 5 permits people to obtain food, beverages and personal care items<\/li><li>Section 6 permits people to obtain goods or services that are necessary for the health or safety of an individual, including health care services<\/li><li>Section 8 allows people to purchase or pick up goods through alternative methods, such as curbside pickup from places allowed to offer curbside under the Rules for Areas in Stage 1 (more on that below)<\/li><li>Section 11 permits people to receive social services and supports, mental health support services, or addiction support services<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has a part called \u201cAssisting Others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Section 12 permits people to deliver goods or provide care or other support or assistance to an individual who requires support or assistance, or to receive such support or assistance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rules for Areas in Stage 1<\/a> also apply to all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grey Zones<\/a> &#8211; right now that is the entire province. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200082#BK5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule 2<\/a> of the Rules, it lists business that may open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retail businesses allowed to open are listed in sections 2-10 and 33(2). Section 10 allows other retailers to operate if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sales are made using alternative methods like curbside (i.e. customers aren\u2019t entering \u201cthe indoor area of the business\u201d)<\/li><li>If the business allows customers to pick up items, it must either have a public entrance opening onto a street or exterior sidewalk OR in a mall have a designated pickup location set by the mall<\/li><li>Pickup items have to be ordered before arriving at the business<\/li><li>Hours are limited to 7am-8pm<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some financial services are allowed to be open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Section 30 permits businesses that provide \u201caccounting and tax services\u201d to operate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Health Care and Social Service providers that are allowed to operate are listed beginning at number 52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Section 52 permits home care or personal support services to seniors and persons with disabilities<\/li><li>Section 54 permits professionals and organizations to provide in-person counselling services<\/li><li>Section 60 permits organizations to provide food, shelter, safety or protection and\/or social services and other necessities of life to economically disadvantaged and other vulnerable individuals<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is that if you\u2019re providing, delivering or facilitating goods and services to vulnerable communities, there\u2019s a good chance one of the permissive sections in the SAH Order and Rules will apply. It\u2019s a matter of properly characterizing your activities and carefully reading the SAH Order and Rules to ensure you\u2019re within the scope of those sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our members are engaged in such a vast spectrum of charitable works, this post almost certainly doesn\u2019t cover all of the potential ways in which charities are meeting community needs \u2013 but hopefully this overview gives many of you both a place to start and some encouragement that there are ways to continue in your love and good works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more?
