Some words of caution from the president of the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce.

Charla Robinson notes with parts of the province going back to a modified Stage Two of operations, we in northwestern Ontario should not take our improved coronavirus situation for granted.

“We need to be vigilant and that if we can do that we can continue to keep businesses open and continue to have a bit more freedom in our daily goings-on,” explains Robinson.

She also points out New Brunswick was cruising along until the last week or so until there was a spike in COVID-19 cases.

The chamber president appears pleased the Ford government is taking a regional approach to its decision-making on the issue.
