Caledon OPP would like to remind residents that as of September 19, 2020, under The Reopening of Ontario Act the new social gathering limits are: indoor events or gatherings: 10 people (previous limit of 50), and outdoor events or gatherings: 25 people (previous limit of 100)

This applies to social gatherings in private residences, backyards, parks and other recreational areas. This includes - functions, parties, dinners, gatherings, barbecues and wedding receptions.
