The Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Sir Sam E. Jonah, has called for a national conversation on how to mobilise national talents and resources to address the challenges and scars created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said such a dialogue should include key stakeholders, such as organised labour, the political parties, traditional leaders, civil society and youth groups, to come up with pretty tough decisions that will be required to bring the economy back to normalcy.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the retired business executive said the woes of COVID-19 were enormous and pervasive, such that a different model, other than the usual partisan approach , was needed to find solutions to them.
COVID-193 February 2021

It’s been weeks since Sir Sam’s Ski and Ride last opened, as it was forced to close because of the provincial lockdown measure to reduce the transmission of the novel coronavirus.
The family-run business that started more than 50 years ago plans on re-opening Feb.11, but this depends on what the province decides said Chris Bishop of Sir Sam’s.
“The last time they gave us four days notice so the hope is that we will be open two weeks from today,” he said on Thursday, Jan. 28. “But then there is chatter out there [about] ‘Why would we open up Ontario for Family Day Weekend? You’ll be crowded.’ Well, the reality is we’ve limited the number of skiers that can come here. So there will be no more skiers on Family Day Sunday than there will be on the following weekend, which is not a long weekend.”
