It’s an idea that combines outdoor dining with public art.
The Town of St.Marys is preparing to launch its first-ever Picnic Project which will see ten picnic tables painted by different families and artists and set up around the town’s downtown core and in Milt Dunnell Park over the summer.
Online applications from households are being accepted until Wednesday with those chosen to take part then selected and tables delivered after that.
St.Marys Events Coordinator Andrea Macko says the goal is to have the tables in place by the start of next month.
LONDON, ONT. The Middlesex-London region’s top doctor says COVID-19 trends locally look promising, but there’s still a long way to go to get to any sense of normalcy. “We aren’t seeing the big declines we would need in order to predict, you know, reopening things over the next few weeks.” Medical officer of health Dr. Chris Mackie’s comments come as the region surpasses 10,000 COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic. Dr. Mackie told CTV News that while the daily cases have leveled off, fewer people are getting tested for the virus, meaning the case counts don’t show the whole picture.
