BARRIE, ONT. Following a recent string of drownings in Simcoe Muskoka, police are urging people to take extra precautions before venturing onto Ontario s lakes and rivers. Despite safety messaging, police patrolling waterways issued four offence notices to boaters for not having life-jackets over the weekend. COVID has really increased the popularity of people being on the water, and unfortunately, when you have that popularity, we have people on the water that don t have the skills to be on the water yet, said OPP Provincial Marine Coordinator Sgt. Dave Moffatt. Locally, in the past week, four people drowned, including an 18-year-old Mississauga man who died while swimming in the Muskoka River.

MINGO JUNCTION Faculty and staff at Indian Creek Local Schools will be obtaining vaccinations during the next week in the latest move to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Superintendent T.C. Chappelear informed board members during a brief session on Thursday that roughly 140 employees will receive their shots on Thursday in the Indian Creek High School gym in cooperation with the Jefferson County Health Department.
“We will have a vaccination day on Thursday,” he said. “We will have a remote learning day that day to help facilitate the vaccinations.”
In other business, officials hope to return to more in-person classes for the remainder of the year and are already setting their sights on graduation. Chappelear said they also plan to hold commencement exercises this spring. The board has already scheduled next year’s graduation for May 22, 2022, at Franciscan University of Steubenville, but is also eying activities this year for May 23.

Scottish government has no borrowing powers. The pandemic has used up lots of resources, quite rightly, to support people who need it. Let s have the.necessary borrowing powers and funding becomes more manageable. That is exactly what the UK government and.most other governments are doing and there lies a major, insurmountable problem.

This is nonsense. Edinburgh needs its Eye Pavilion, asking people to travel go the Jubilee in Glasgow is a scandal. I don t expect the NHS/government will pay transport fees or are they going to run shuttle buses – free?
