I have started this petition in hopes that I can get the support from people all across the province to show how essential people truly think gyms and fitness facilities are. When things such as the LCBO and Outlet malls (which shopping can be done online) are allowed to remain open during Ontarios Covid Grey Zone restrictions I personally feel as if that is completely wrong. Doug and the government of ontario have deemed alcohol and shopping more essential than a place which truly has such a huge impact on people’s physical and mental health. As someone who battles depression and mental health I know as well as thousands upon thousands of the Ontario population need the gym and fitness as an outlet to remain happy. Im hoping to get enough signatures on this petition to just hopefully raise a little bit of awareness towards this issue and maybe open some eyes about the fact that gyms should be deemed essential and remain open.
