HALIFAX Help wanted signs seem to be everywhere as many businesses are seeking staff. Nova Scotia is now in Phase 4 of its reopening plan, allowing retail stores to open at full capacity. Bars and restaurants can return to their original operating hours and this means more working hours need to be filled. But, according to Luc Erjavec, the vice-president of the Atlantic Canada Restaurant Association, that is proving to be a tall order. Number one, we left so many employees off our payrolls because of the pandemic, we have immigration that has essentially stopped which has always been an important part of our labour force, and number three is that we are really competing with some of the federal support programs which are really disincentives for people to return to the workforce, says Erjavec.
HALIFAX Many Maritimers were out soaking up the sun this weekend. I got out yesterday with a couple friends on a patio downtown and had a nice supper, social distanced and headed out golfing right now,” said Leanne Salyzn. After seeing a surge in COVID cases through April and May, case numbers continue to trend downward in Nova Scotia. 12 new cases of infection were reported Sunday, along with 32 recoveries, leaving 204 active cases in the province. One month ago, on May 6, there were more than 1,300 active COVID cases. A province-wide lockdown ended on June 2. Many Haligonians say they feel comfortable as public health measure start to ease and are excited to get out and explore the city again.
HALIFAX Patios are set to reopen across Nova Scotia this Wednesday, marking the return of in-person dining in the province after more than a month of lockdown. It is a welcome relief for a beleaguered industry that has been relying on take-out only for more than a month during Nova Scotia’s third wave of COVID-19. “It’s huge for us,” says Jon Whitton, General Manager of Antojo Tacos + Tequila in Halifax. “Between barriers, six foot separation, between both our patios, we think we can do 55-60 people.” While many in the industry are ready to welcome customers back, not all bars and restaurants have patios, meaning they’ll have to wait for Phase Two of the province’s reopening plan, which could be two to four weeks away.
