Some select businesses will re-open in Niagara today.

Premier Doug Ford is lifting some restrictions, letting some seasonal businesses that can immediately meet the guidelines open up.

Starting today, garden centres and nurseries can offer curbside pick-up and delivery.

Lawn care and landscapers can get to work, along with some additional essential construction projects.

Automatic and self-serve car washes will open and you can book an appointment at car dealerships.

Golf courses and marinas will be allowed to begin preparations for the season, but public access won’t be allowed.

Doug Ford says we need to see another two weeks of real positive results before more restrictions are loosened.
