SEATING
So, what is the "Muskoka Circle" and why is it so important?
​
In simple terms it is six chairs in a circle, with 2 metres between each chair. It is the basis of safe seating and responsible gathering.

The "Muskoka Circle" is great because it is an arrangement everyone is familiar/comfortable with (sitting around a fire/table). If you had outside parties before COVID, you probably sat in a "Muskoka Circle" before (whether with Muskoka chairs or a different kind of chair).
​
The six person "Muskoka Circle" allows for 2 metres between each person, gives them a place for their drink and allows everyone in the circle to be able to talk to each other.
​
Most importantly, if you have more than six people over, you can set up multiple circles, so it works for more people.
​
It also works for maintaining safe distancing when people move around from circle to circle. With multiple "Muskoka Circles" set up, people can trade places safely allowing more socializing.
​
A big plus, it only takes a minute to set up, and people are used to it.
It works!
