CURRENT ISSUES

In Issue 628, upon examination of this week’s headlines one thing is missing - COVID-19! Yes, in what may be a first since March of 2020 there are no articles about the pandemic, COVID cases or vaccination clinics…now that isn’t to say the crisis is over but it is perhaps a sign that it has lessened to the point that it is no longer as headline worthy as it once was and that is some really good news!

In Issue 626, we reflect on 12 years of producing the Bayfield Breeze, as our first issue was published on July 9, 2009. The Bayfield Breeze team would like to thank everyone who has supported us all these years as well as those who have discovered us along the way. These last 69 weeks, since the pandemic was declared, have proved to be the most challenging of all, but with the help of our resilient community, the voice of the village can still be heard. Please keep those articles coming in and Happy Anniversary Bayfield Breeze!

In Issue 625, we recognize that today is the day that Ontario moves to Step 2 of reopening. What does this mean? Well, hairstylists and other personal care providers are finally allowed to resume their businesses, retail stores and patios can expand their capacity, outdoor gatherings can increase to 25 people and indoor gatherings of up to five people will be allowed - all steps in the right direction as we hopefully move toward a happier and healthier summer season.
