WINDSOR, ONT. The current stay at home order and May heat wave has meant an earlier pool season, which means for many children it’s the first time they’ll be in the water in quite some time. “We stopped running swimming lessons at the beginning of the pandemic so that would’ve been March of 2020,” says Jennifer Knights, manager at The Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre. When programs can resume, they are likely to start with only parents in the water. “So they won’t take the place of the instructor but they’ll be the one that’s in close proximity to their child. So kind of like creating a family bubble or family grouping,” says Knights.

Dean Giffen said he’s “feeling very blessed,” after being the first person to receive a shot Wednesday at the new COVID-19 vaccine clinic for people who are homeless.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” he told the paramedics with Essex-Windsor EMS, who are administering the shots along with members of the Community Response and Stabilization Team (CRST).
