CAMBRIDGE The owner of a Cambridge barbershop is speaking out after he was fined $880 under COVID-19 enforcement measures. The region said on Friday that Barber Pole and Co. was fined for not following face covering bylaws, but the owner is calling what happened a misunderstanding. Antoine El Khoury said that all his clients are expected to wear a mask and sanitize their hands before sitting down for a haircut, but admitted they made an exception for one client late last month. He didn t have a mask on because he claimed he had some health issues, breathing difficulties, he explained.
KITCHENER There have been nine new fines issued to those not abiding by COVID-19 pandemic measures in Waterloo Region. In a Friday meeting, regional chair Karen Redman said four of these fines were handed out between February 25 and March 3, while the other five were handed out the week before. Public Health issued one $880 ticket to Barber Pole & Co. in Cambridge for failing to comply with a face covering order. In Waterloo, five tickets costing $880 each were given at two separate private residences failing to comply with a continued order. The region issued two tickets at a Waterloo Region public housing unit on Weber Street East. The $240 were both for failing to comply with a face covering order.
Here, Historian Dana Beck reminisces about two centuries of barbershops in Inner Southeast
Saturdays were often the most popular day of the week for men in the 1920 s, and it wasn t just because for many it was a day off. There wasn t a week that you wouldn t find a gathering of gentlemen at the local barbershop, weekends included.
It s not that men a century ago were fastidious about their looks; it s just that the corner barbershop was where men gathered to banter with each other, follow their favorite sports teams, and hear the latest local gossip. And, like many other local communities in the City of Portland and across the nation, Sellwood and Westmoreland offered a host of hair cutting establishments to choose from.
