Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 The first step! The Ford government is extending Ontario’s emergency declaration until at least April 23, and adding several new measures to ban camping on Crown land and make it easier for hospitals to surge capacity. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ford-extends-ontario-s-emergency-covid-19-measures-to-april-23-1.4892140 Quote Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!!

Adrian 132 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 I can see the reasoning behind this, where people travel out of their own area and camp in another area. That puts a burden on the area they travelled to. Whereas if you travelled from home in Thunder Bay to Whitefish Lake area, for example, to camp on crown land, you are still going to TBay for your goods and medical help. There is no change in burden location. If they would have said no camping on crown land outside of your own hospital and commerce area, may have made more sense. But on the other hand, I guess the policing of a total ban is easier. Regardless of where we are or what we are doing this summer, we must be very vigilant about social distancing.

oyo 127 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 So I assume that fishing must be done soon, if you can’t go and camp on your own chances are they don’t want you in the backcountry fishing on your own and potentially using up emergency resources. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not many people camp overnight alone, usually with buddies. again hopefully day trips will be ok, with family members, not your buddies, may be a lot of trucks with 1 occupant. But then look at the flat landers from Manitoba flocking to lake of the woods every weekend, it could spread like wildfire, this is what they want to stop. where do u draw the line?

oyo 127 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 On the plus side you won’t see any trailers parked anywhere on crown land this year, too bad you can’t pitch a tent. Might be interesting to see what happens to the fisheries with a summer of low pressure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 There are thousands of people down south who flock to lakes and rivers etc to camp and fish during the summer. That is now called non essential travel. Ford just made it a little clearer by adding the no camping on crown land stipulation. There will be others as time goes on. As oyo stated above I would think there could be a lot of injuries during the summer requiring medical aid which would put additional stress on local resources and put first responders at risk as well. Non essential travel covers a lot of things including fishing day trips.

AB 98 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 One thing to keep in mind here is that the Premier and his team are making decisions with a lot of input from and feed back from whatvis observed in southern Ontario. Steelhead run is already full tilt on and the temperatures are generally warmer down there so camping is not out of the question. We are going to keep getting hit with containment measures until such time as the number of people with antibodies from CV19 exposure make up the bulk of the population or a vaccine becomes available. The way to defeat a virus is to deprive it of hosts. So control over potental hosts is of utmost importance for the good of all of us. Its gonna get goofy! But it will pass in time!

I’ve seen that once or twice this year to always want to say something but who knows if they could live in the same household. I agree with the camping ban tho it sucks for the guys that go camping with there partner or even by themselves but most of the time it’s done in groups everyone just has to suck it up and hope we can get even a month in at the end! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crisop 65 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 Call the health units hotline to report it then worst case they get a fine for not distancing and best case they are brothers in the same house and they keep fishing. if people don’t start distancing or start reporting people who aren’t then we are going to lose everything because of these idiots who won’t distance 1 Quote 2017 Dog Lake Open Champion Line Cutter Fishy AF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
