On July 11, Saskatchewan removed all public health orders<\/a>, including limits on events and gathering sizes and mandatory masking. This is welcome news for churches and ministries that have been patiently waiting for the freedom to gather, worship and serve together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saskatchewan joins Alberta<\/a> in lifting public health orders, with BC very close behind<\/a>. As of July 1 and its Step 3, BC has no capacity limits on indoor or outdoor religious gatherings<\/a>, no provincial masking order<\/a>, and no restrictions on personal gatherings<\/a>. As of August 2, New Brunswick will move to Phase 3 and lift all<\/a> of its restrictions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Ontario will move into its Step 3 of its 3-step plan on July 16<\/a>, five days ahead of schedule. Step 3 revises, but does not remove, public health orders and restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some important, significant, and welcome changes in Step 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
