DIRECT SUPPORT LOCATIONS IN ONTARIO – LOCK DOWN DIRECTIONS
On December 26th, 2020 Ontario is entering a Province wide lock down. In response to Ontario’s announcement, MCCSS has released a memo with directions for direct support locations to adhere to during the lock down. The following guideline has been developed to reflect these changes. Included below is the original memo sent by MCCSS.
- Province Wide Shut Down – Interim Directions (Ontario)
- December 26th Lock Down – No Visitors Poster
- MCCSS Memo on Lock Down Restrictions
DIRECT SUPPORT LOCATIONS – EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
We have heard the importance of having clear plans and supports in place when responding to cases of COVID-19 at a location. We have released a new Emergency Response Plan – Site Specific Pandemic Addendum. This tool will help bring consistency to our program response plans across Christian Horizons and ensure that all the information needed during an outbreak is easily accessible for everyone. Most locations will already have a lot of this information included in a plan, however, this will be a way to ensure no areas are being missed.
ACTIVITIES AND VISITS IN ONTARIO
We are pleased to be able to host families once again in Ontario. The
COVID-19 Visiting Guide for Locations* (Suspended during provincial lock down in Ontario) includes a visit planning form to help you schedule and prepare to host upcoming visits while complying with MCCSS guidelines.

Regional Updates: Check COVID-19 Current Activity Restrictions (Suspended during provincial lock down in Ontario) weekly for current restrictions in your area.
Reminder: Guides and resources related to visiting (such as the COVID-19 Visiting Guide for Families and Friends (Suspended during provincial lock down in Ontario) and
“Where I’ve Been” Timeline) are posted at christian-horizons.org/coronavirus and the Educate & Equip tab.
