The MPP for Northumberland-Peterborough South says COVID-19 is a wide-reaching issue that certainly affected plenty of people and businesses in his riding.
David Piccini spoke to Quinte News about the past year as part of our year in review series.
Piccini says while the pandemic has had many negative impacts this year, he found a positive in the fact that it also has brought members of his riding and community together.
“Whether it’s just simply looking out for a neighbour, a loved one, an elderly member of our community. Whether it’s the Brighton Legion leading a thank you to oUr first responders and health care heroes, in every sort of trying time it really brings out the best in our community and we’ve really seen that in rural Ontario.”
