TORONTO—Ontarians will be able to go shopping, play golf or tennis, and get their dogs groomed—but not visit family—starting next week as stage one of the province’s reopening kicks in, Premier Doug Ford announced Thursday.

Tuesday will mark the beginning of the province’s first recovery stage, which also includes the resumption of some surgeries, as the numbers of new COVID-19 cases in Ontario continue to drop.
