In response, over 30,000 Ontarians have signed a petition in an effort to remove the government's restrictions on outdoor activities.

"Responsible, outdoor and physically distant recreation options are necessary for the health and well being of Ontarians," Dave Harris, the organizer, states in the petition's description.

The Ontario government had previously included children's playgrounds in its list of outdoor closures, but that decision was later amended.
