Dube said the easing of the rules would take effect on Thursday at midnight. He added that the epidemiological situation at the moment permits indoor and outdoor sporting events. However, people are to be divided into groups of 250 people, to ensure safe distancing in large events.

Relaxation of the rules will also apply to drive in parks on a green alert level. Other festivals and events will be authorized on 25th June. Now, Montreal Canadiens have reached the semifinals, and have requested the Quebec government to increase the capacity at Bell Centre during the home game.
