The increase in Covid-19 cases in the region, and especially the highly-transmissible Omicron variant, has led to the precautionary closure of winter camps in Scugog.
“To protect the health and safety of the community, and to respect the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Township of Scugog has made the difficult decision to cancel winter break camps, effective Monday, December 20, 2021,” said a notice.
With the suspension of winter break camps, staff will be working to process and complete refunds for all affected registrants. Residents will receive a refund for all winter break camps without any administrative fees added.
The township said it is anticipated that the refund processing will take 3-5 business days. Registrants who paid by credit card will be refunded to the same credit card, when possible. All other payment methods will receive a cheque in the mail (please allow 2-3 weeks).

The Township of Scugog said it will continue to follow Ontario’s lead and wait for Public Health guidance to proceed further in order to keep the community healthy and safe. The evolving situation will continue to be monitored and further updates will be communicated with the residents via public notice.
