Police have not identified the victim.Police say the remaining five passengers and the 46-year-old operator of the boat were treated for non-life threatening injuries.Police could not say if life jackets were worn by the boaters as the cause into the fatal crash continues.Witness Mehrnoosh Izadi says she saw the boat moving sideways seconds before it collided into the shore.“I was looking at it because it was getting pretty close to the rocks but it didn’t seem to be steering away from it,” she said.“It was moving pretty fast and crashed into the rocks. That wasn’t always the case. We are doing this to save lives,” Tory said on his Twitter account on March 30.Bradford also told Beach Metro News that “City staff together with the Toronto Police Service also started prioritizing patrols for hot spot parks.”Bradford said his office has been inundated with calls from local residents who are trying to figure out if they were still allowed to walk on the local beaches and on the Boardwalk.For now, he said, people are “still allowed on the beach, trails and green spaces across the city – including the Boardwalk” but they must practice safe physical distancing and not gather in groups.“We are all being asked to only use these spaces while practising physical distancing rules and if you’re walking, running or rolling through. City of Toronto reopens number of park amenities, but Woodbine Beach and Ashbridges Bay parking lots remain closed May 21, 2020 Youngsters play in the Beach Skatepark earlier this year prior to it being closed due to COVID-19 restrictions in late March.

Still open as of March 31 was the small parking lot in front of the Tim Hortons on the south side of Lake Shore Boulevard East between Coxwell Avenue and Northern Dancer Boulevard.Scenes of groups of people gathering on the beaches in the area and walking on the Boardwalk while not observing safe social (physical) distancing guidelines this past weekend were one of the reasons for the parking lot closures.“On Monday we had to close the parking lots around the beach because people weren’t following the advice of our Chief Medical Officer of Health,” said Beaches-East York Councillor Brad Bradford in a statement to Beach Metro News this week.Mayor John Tory said in an interview with CP24 on the morning of March 30 that he was frustrated by seeing images of people last weekend gathering in local parks and in a number of cases ignoring the closure of park amenities such as off-leash dog areas, tennis courts and playgrounds which had been ordered closed by the city last week.He also said city bylaw enforcement officers would be fining people who broke the rules by using closed park amenities.“While we always try to persuade and educate people, I’m afraid the time is up for those who don’t want to listen or care, and for them we won’t hesitate to issue $750 fines for using closed park amenities so people get the message.
