As much as it was frustrating and upsetting that Simcoe Muskoka went into another lockdown not long ago, Lake of Bays Mayor, Terry Glover, along with other council members, wanted to find a way for their businesses to survive.
“We came up with the idea that we should pass a resolution at council that looks at the colour coding of different businesses with regards to the restrictions put in place by the province,” said Glover.
“Basically what it speaks to is square footage of restaurants and businesses to allow better access. We thought, if a business or restaurant has availability for way more than 10, then they should be allowed a bigger proportion of sales based on their square footage. You got a tiny little place; I understand where they’re putting a restriction of 10. However, I’ve got a number of large restaurants in Lake of Bays where they could easily safely deal with say 20 or so.”
