As of today, we are now permitted to open as planned and we simply cannot wait!  Batawa Ski Hill 

Calabogie Peaks Resort is scheduled to open on February 11 and Batawa Ski Hill will open its doors on February 12. 

However, Batawa will only be offering lift tickets to guests from regions being placed in green zones.

The areas include Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Public Health, and the Renfrew County and District Health Unit. 

The move is part of the province's plan to gradually ease public health units back to its colour-coded reopening framework.

Ford announced on February 8 that Ontario's new reopening plan will kick in on Wednesday.

However, Toronto, Peel and York's stay-at-home order will remain until February 22.
