Come Monday, the City will move from the stay-at-home order to the Province's grey zone.
Residents are still encouraged to stay home as much as possible to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and another lockdown.

Vaccine speed is vital to protect at risk individuals.

For Canadians tempted to shop for a #COVID19 vaccine, the bottom line is simple: Take what’s offered as quickly as possible.
