Province Cracking Down on Big Box Stores Not Following COVID Rules

Monday, 18 January 2021 05:08

Police and government inspectors are ramping up efforts to make sure we comply with the new lockdown measures.

Over the weekend, safety inspectors conducted a big box store blitz in the GTHA and found 30 stores not in compliance with provincial directives.

11 tickets and 11 warnings were issued as a result.

Last week, Niagara Parks says it issued several tickets to a group of visitors from the Hamilton -Toronto area gathered at Table Rock.

And six people were recently fined by bylaw officers for violating COVID-19 rules at an Airbnb in Niagara on the lake.
