BARRIE, ONT. --
Barrie's waterfront was busy on the first Saturday under the new provincial stay-at-home order. Many people headed out for walks along Centennial Beach or through downtown, taking advantage of the summer-like weather.
Most business owners are adhering to instructions to close, but several have also defied those orders and are open.
In Midland, Heads Up Hair Design has been open all week, even after its owner received two $750 fines last month.
Keely Turner calls staying open a very difficult decision.
"I had to do a lot of soul-searching to make it, but, at the end of the day, I have to feed my family. I'm not going to look at my kids in the eye and explain why I can't feed them."
