Restos to reopen in town on June 22
Restaurants will be allowed to reopen elsewhere in Quebec on June 15, in Montreal on June 22. Various limits and sanitary rules will be in place, but – according to what I just heard on radio – alcohol laws may be relaxed.
I hope the CAQ is taking sensible advice here and is not chiefly motivated by wanting to make people happy in time for St-Jean.

White shoes will be permitted starting July 1 and ending on Labor Day.

Its snuck in at the bottom of that article, but bigger news as far as i’m concerned is that indoor gatherings of up to 10 people will be allowed on the same dates. That’s a big deal.

Do you have a room that seats 10 while maintaining physical distancing? Cuz I don’t.

Kevin: so then don’t invite 10 people to your house. Problem solved.

Haha indeed, this is why there is no generic maximum occupancy for buildings… to be fair besides children’s birthday parties I don’t have many situations where there are 10 people from different families in my house, if I’m having adults over it’s in the backyard… but I know not everyone in the city has a backyard.

Houses aren’t designed to keep people apart, so people are going to invite a gang of friends and family over and act like pre-pandemic times. All while the evidence points to the highest transmission rates coming from people being in close quarters with an infected person for a significant period of time.
Contrast with what epidemiologists expect to do in the next few months.
