The province just west of Manitoba, with equivalent if not higher COVID-19 case counts per capita, has come up with a detailed reopening roadmap for businesses and residents.

PERHAPS a special occasion in our household deserves a special meal. Someone offers a three-word dinner suggestion: Let’s order in.
While it may be because no one in the house wants to cook, the suggestion can be bolstered if necessary by an appeal to the greater good: we’re commendably community-minded when we support Manitoba’s eateries that have been hard hit by pandemic restrictions.
The next decision is which app to use for delivery: SkipTheDishes, DoorDash or Uber Eats?
