The new figures also apply to weddings and funerals. This replaces the previous cap of ten people for grey zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capacity limits are now common under reopening regulations. Businesses allowed to open in the Grey Zone are also subject to caps, such as grocery stores at 50% and big box stores at 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Churches in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200263#BK8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/regulation\/200364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green, Yellow and Orange<\/a> zones continue to be limited to 30% capacity indoors, or 100 people outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check the status of your region and the applicable restrictions <a href=\"https:\/\/covid-19.ontario.ca\/zones-and-restrictions#green-special-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a welcome announcement that comes after consultation with faith leaders.

CCCC CEO John Pellowe shares a great example in his recent blog post, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2021\/03\/09\/challenging-authorities-using-reason-to-persuade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Challenging Authorities: Using Reason to Persuade<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are thankful for the efforts of those involved, especially as we recognize the importance of in-person worship and care.
