FishingDayz 12 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 https://fishncanada.com/news/more-boat-launches-to-be-opening/ sounds like it’s a municipal thing. I get that marinas were deemed non-essential but there are a lot of ramps that are not at a marina. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler0420 950 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I think the Ramps will be open soon. What kind of long weekend is it with no boating. Some ramps are opening now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigugli 766 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Niagara parks is drawing the hard line. Kawartha lakes open tomorrow, Grand river CA and Haldimand Norfolk are sticking to closure. Belle R opening up a little. Windsor not yet. it's a crap shoot. Most municipalities are taking their lead from Queen's park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
