Dear Friends and Neighbours, Today, Dr. de Villa asked the Province of Ontario to keep Toronto in the Shutdown Zone and subject to the Stay-at-Home Order for an additional two weeks, until March 9th at the earliest. The request stems from significant concern around new COVID-19 variants of concern that are appearing across Toronto. Variants have now been identified in long-term care homes, hospitals, a shelter and a meat packing plant. The extra time would allow public health officials to focus on the safe reopening of schools and monitoring the new variants in the city. The City will have to wait and see what the response will be from the Province. The full letter from Dr. de Villa to the Province is available here. More about this is available here.

Sincerely, Frances
