CBC

Venues across Quebec's cultural sector are set to partially reopen today after being shut down since December.
Cinemas, theatres, concert halls and sports venues are allowed to reopen at 50 per cent capacity or a maximum of 500 people (1,000 for outdoor events) and proof of vaccination is required for entry.
Places of worship can also reopen with a cap of 250 vaccinated people.
As the province enters the second phase of its reopening plan amid an ongoing decline in hospitalizations, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante is calling on the government to provide a concrete reopening plan for the spring and summer to protect the city's reputation and economic development.
"Other provinces have this plan, they have this predictability, but not Quebec," she said. "Montreal, as a cultural metropolis, economic locomotive, needs this plan to support its entire [cultural] industry."
Plante says the city is entering a crucial phase for booking big tourist events like festivals and conventions, and the unpredictability is putting many events planned for the city at risk.
The first phase in the province's reopening plan began last week when restaurant dining rooms reopened to patrons and school sports were allowed to resume.
The next phase will see restrictions lift for all indoor sports, gyms and spas as of Feb. 14, while bars and casinos will remain closed until further notice.
