During Thursday's COVID-19 briefing, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a plan to begin a gradual reopening of federal parks and historic sites across the country in June.

Some trails, day use areas, green spaces and recreational boating will be available starting June 1 at national parks, historic sites and waterways and national marine conservation areas.

Trudeau says he knows the May long weekend ahead will be different for most Canadians because many of the usual traditions to kick of a Canadian summer are not possible.

Trudeau says that won’t last forever and the government plans to open the parts of national parks and sites where physical distancing is possible.

During Thursday's briefing, Trudeau is also urged people to “buy Canadian” as domestic food producers feel the strain of global restrictions put in place to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, while announcing new supports for fish harvesters facing lost income from the pandemic.
