The Dufferin Board of Trade is among the organizations getting rapid screening tests from the province.
A new program introduced is aimed at helping small- and medium-sized businesses screen employees for COVID-19.
Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction, Prabmeet Sarkaria, says this is an important step in fighting the spread.
DBOT Board Chair, Liz Skorski, says “I am thrilled that we are able to offer small businesses this amazing, free opportunity to help keep their employees, and our community safe. We are grateful to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce for their help with this program at the provincial level so we can get these kits into the hands of local business, and to Dufferin County Economic Development for their support.

The quickest way to achieve compliance is to suspend the driver’s licence of everyone who drives to an anti-restriction COVID rally or related activities. As well, instead of fines for disobedience of restriction measures, demerit an offender’s driver’s licence. For those who don’t drive at present, register their offence to apply to future driving.

A citizen of a country ruled by law does not pick and choose which laws to obey. If one disagrees with a law, one can work to get it changed by convincing so many people of the need that the elected government has to bow to public opinion. One does not arbitrarily disobey it.
Those who met in large numbers in Bowden for a rodeo over the weekend, flagrantly disobeying the government’s public health restrictions, were disregarding the law. Public health regulations are laws made in the best interest of us all, just like laws that say all children must be educated; all drivers must have insurance; no one may drink and drive.
