THUNDER BAY – Business owners in Thunder Bay are about to push back against the provincial government forcing their establishments closed.
Katrina O’Neill, owner of Sew Flippin’ Creations in the County Fair Mall, says in protest of the government extending stay-at-home orders for another two weeks, until June 2, she plans to open to the public on May 20.
That’s the day the shutdown order was originally scheduled to end.
Brothers Carmen and Cosimo Minnella say they plan to reopen Memorial Avenue’s Trenz Hair Studio and Day Spa on June 3, the day after the extended order is scheduled to end.
According to Wakefield, she s the third candidate to throw her hat into the ring. I am running against two wonderful community activists (Lise Vaugeois and Riley Yesno). I m excited to see the passion, engagement and ideas this will generate in the community, particularly within the youth, Wakefield wrote Monday in a Facebook post. No matter who wins, I will be proud to support the work both of them are doing in the community.
Yesno, a writer and Eabametoong First Nation member who grew up in Thunder Bay, said Tuesday she was still considering whether to seek the nomination, if approved by the party.
