A commitment by the Ford government in its fall economic update to build the controversial Bradford Bypass is being met with both excitement and frustration.
BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY, ONT. Premier Doug Ford said the province would start vaccinating people aged 18 and older living in COVID-19 hot spots, including Bradford. The risk of exposure to the virus is heightened, with the variants of concern, and now more young people are testing positive, along with essential workers who can t work from home. They come home to their families, and they don t realize they are bringing the coronavirus into their households, and it is troubling, said Bradford West Gwillimbury Mayor Rob Keffer. Bradford resident Elaine Hermitt was shocked to hear the province flagged her town on Wednesday. It s surprising because I wouldn t believe that this would be a hot spot.
