Toronto Bills BBQ Restaurant Owner $187,000 for Costs Spent Enforcing Its Closure
The city of Toronto is asking the owner of an Etobicoke barbecue restaurant to pay $187,000 in costs it incurred when police tried to enforce COVID-19 lockdown orders at his business last year.
In November 2020, Adam Skelly, the owner of Adamson Barbecue, flouted the city’s COVID-19 restrictions that prohibited bars and restaurants from providing dine-in services. Toronto police called on the business multiple times in attempt to enforce the rules, and Toronto Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa eventually ordered the closure of the establishment located on Queen Elizabeth Boulevard.
