   Hello!   
      
   It would seem to be that the shitheads who write this stuff up     
   might be having too much coffee - or perhaps something else.   
      
   Here is an excerpt regarding gatherings:   
      
   __CITATION BEGINS__   
      
   Schedule 4   
   Organized Public Events, Certain Gatherings   
      
   ::Gatherings, Stage 1 areas::   
   1. (1) Subject to sections 2 to 4, no person shall attend,   
      
   (a) an organized public event that is held indoors;   
      
   (b) a social gathering that is held indoors, including a   
   social gathering associated with a gathering described in   
   clause (d);   
      
   (c) an organized public event or social gathering of more than   
   10 people that is held outdoors, including a social gathering   
   associated with a gathering described in clause (d); or   
      
   (d) a gathering of more than 10 people for the purposes of a   
   wedding, a funeral or a religious service, rite or ceremony.   
      
   (2) A person attending an organized public event, social   
   gathering or a gathering for the purposes of a wedding, a   
   funeral or a religious service, rite or ceremony shall comply   
   with public health guidance on physical distancing.   
      
   (3) For greater certainty, subsections (1) and (2) apply with   
   respect to an organized public event, social gathering or a   
   gathering for the purposes of a wedding, a funeral or a   
   religious service, rite or ceremony, even if it is held at a   
   private dwelling.   
      
   ::Exception, members of single household::   
   2. Section 1 does not apply with respect to a gathering of   
   members of a single household, or a gathering that includes   
   members of a household and one other person from outside that   
   household who lives alone.   
      
   ::Exception, attendance at business::   
   3. The prohibitions on attendance at an organized public event   
   in subsection 1 (1) do not apply with respect to attendance at   
   a business for a purpose related to providing or receiving the   
   goods or services provided by the business if the business is   
   not required to close under this Order.   
      
   ::Gathering in motor vehicles for religious service, rite or   
   ceremony::   
   4. (1) This section applies with respect to   
   gatherings for the purposes of a wedding, funeral, religious   
   service, rite or ceremony if the persons attending the   
   gathering, other than those conducting the service, rite or   
   ceremony, do so in a motor vehicle.   
      
   (2) Clause 1 (1) (d) does not apply to a person who attends a   
   gathering to which this section applies if the person follows   
   all of the following precautions that apply to the person:   
      
   1. Each person attending the gathering, other than the persons   
   conducting the service, rite or ceremony, must remain within a   
   motor vehicle that is designed to be closed to the elements,   
   except,   
      
   i. where necessary to use a washroom, or   
      
   ii. as may otherwise be necessary for the purposes of health   
   and safety.   
      
   2. The driver of a motor vehicle must ensure that it is   
   positioned at least two metres away from other motor vehicles.   
      
   3. A person who ordinarily uses a non-motorized vehicle   
   because of their religious belief and who attends the   
   gathering must remain within their non-motorized vehicle   
   except where necessary to use a washroom or as may otherwise   
   be required for health and safety, and paragraph 2 applies   
   with necessary modifications.   
      
   __CITATION ENDS__   
      
   This time they have taken to task the "solution" many people     
   came up with by using their cars to meet publicly.   
      
   Also, I find the reference to a "person who ordinarily uses a     
   non-motorized vehicle because of their religious belief"     
   rather amusing.  Gee.. I wonder what group of people that     
   might be!? Of course if they mention the group specifically,     
   that would be deemed prejudiced?  :/
