The Rebecca Towers tenant committee has written up a list of demands and concerns, sending it to Medallion, the company that owns the site, and Hamilton s medical officer of health.
The group says only one elevator in the 17-storey building is working and common areas aren t regularly cleaned.
The committee also says it rejects statements from public health that the spread of the virus within the complex is due to residents socializing. Tenants are also upset that the City of Hamilton knew about the rising case counts since March but did not inform us until May, the group said. This is unacceptable.

BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY, ONT. An apartment building fire in Bradford West Gwillimbury that forced 118 residents to evacuate ignites frustration for many left uprooted from their homes for nearly a month. Not one resident has been allowed back into their apartments since the fire broke out on March 22, not even to gather belongings left behind. Al Collings recalled being trapped in the elevator when smoke began to pour in. I pushed the second floor - the floor I lived on, and it took me up to the eight, and then it went to the seventh, and the smoke started coming in, he said. I thought I was done because it wouldn t stop.

EDMOND On a windy afternoon of filming at Wantland Stadium, Emily O Banion efficiently distributes over-the-counter remedies for headaches, heartburn and seasonal allergies to crew members chronicling the action on the University of Central Oklahoma football field.
But as with so much else about the movie business, what goes on away from the set happens to be just as vital to the final results.
Since last May, O Banion and her company, Oklahoma Set Medics, have administered about 50,000 COVID-19 tests and been credited with ensuring that the state s film and television industry has been able not just to survive but to thrive during the coronavirus pandemic.

EDMOND On a spring day inside Wantland Stadium, football players are running through drills while coaches bark instructions and critiques.
Instead of the University of Central Oklahoma s bronze and blue, through, the players are decked out in green and gold, to match the vintage Green Bay banners flapping in the frisky Oklahoma wind. So this is Green Bay Packers training camp, and most of this will be visual effects, producer Kevin Downes said in a March interview on the set of the biopic, which recently wrapped filming in the Oklahoma City metro area. For me, it s been a long five months, but here we go. We re at the finish line.
