Groupon Decides To Discontinue Their Relationship With MGS

On April 15, 2020. Groupon decided to discontinue their relationship with us after ten years. What does this mean for existing clients that have open coupons for services that were postponed due to last fall's early freeze? Unfortunately because of Groupon's decision we will not be able to service you. We recommend that you contact Groupon for a refund. We have cancelled your service in our system and have given a credit within our system for any monies that you paid directly to us, (usually only the HST) which will be applied to your new booking automatically. We have also changed your client status to our member status which you will see a lower price than the Groupon that you paid for. We are truly sorry that Groupon made this decision at a time when Covid-19 is creating uncertainly in the world and we certainly had every intention of fulfilling our commitment to all of our clients. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to navigate these very unfamiliar waters we and all of us find ourselves in.

Lets all stay safe and look after each other.

Ontario Announces Additional Workplaces that Can Reopen.

Additional seasonal, retail and household businesses must follow public health guidelines

Today, the Ontario government announced the retailers, seasonal businesses and health and community service providers who will be permitted to open or expand their services on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 12:01 a.m., provided that the general trend on health indicators continues to improve as part of the first stage of the government's reopening framework. The workplaces opening as part this stage are well-positioned to put workplace safety measures in place and get more people back to work, while not overburdening public transit and other services.

Ontario Extends Emergency Declaration to Stop the Spread of COVID-19

Sustained Measures Necessary to Stop the Spread and Protect Public Health

On April 14, 2020 the Ontario Government again extended the Emergency measures to extend to May 12, 2020. We have been in contact with numerous government agencies to determine if we can service our clients safely and effectively. The final determination was decided for us that we are not an essential service and therefore continue to not be able to start our season. We still have plans in starting our season on May 19, 2020. However we want all clients to know that this may again be delayed based on the government measures that they may continue to be in place. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to navigate these very unfamiliar waters we and all of us find ourselves in.

Lets all stay safe and look after each other.
