THUNDER BAY – Business owners in Thunder Bay are about to push back against the provincial government forcing their establishments closed.
Katrina O’Neill, owner of Sew Flippin’ Creations in the County Fair Mall, says in protest of the government extending stay-at-home orders for another two weeks, until June 2, she plans to open to the public on May 20.
That’s the day the shutdown order was originally scheduled to end.
Brothers Carmen and Cosimo Minnella say they plan to reopen Memorial Avenue’s Trenz Hair Studio and Day Spa on June 3, the day after the extended order is scheduled to end.
