LONG SAULT Residents of South Stormont will have to wait a little while before they can celebrate Canada Day.
South Stormont council voted unanimously in favour last week of postponing celebrations to Sept. 4. That doesn’t mean events would still take place as the postponement will only go ahead if the township gets the green light from the Eastern Ontario Health Unit.

LANCASTER, Ontario – During an update to South Stormont Council, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical officer of Health with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), painted a grim picture of the situation at the Lancaster Long Term Care Residence in Lancaster, South Glengarry which is experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak.
The update on this particular long term care facility came in response to a question from Councillor Jennifer MacIsaac.
“Looking at long term care homes, specifically the one in Lancaster, it has really moved up the charts,” said MacIsaac. “They are now second in per cent of positive residents in the province, and tenth in number of residents infected.”
