The last weekend marked a busy time for both regional police and local bylaw enforcement agencies, as the region was host to two separate demonstrations with widely different agendas and attendees. Saturday saw the counter-protest of a ‘White Lives Matter’ rally in Wilmot, as attendees encouraged a strict adherence to physical distancing and masking protocols despite gathering during a time where it is prohibited. On the other end of the spectrum, Sunday’s anti-lockdown protest saw hundreds of demonstrators voicing their opposition to the provincial stay-at-home order and local public health measures with appearances from notable individuals of the movement. While members of our regional police’s COVID Integrated Response Team were on site for both events, the police are facing a slew of criticism from the community – either in a perceived lack

KITCHENER The search for a summer gig is on, but some students are struggling to find work with so many businesses closed during pandemic shutdowns. I am lucky to say I am starting my third work term as of this week as a business analyst, said Maisha Adil. Adil is a health studies student at the University of Waterloo and knows that she s fortunate to find work through her co-op placement, but for other students the experience hasn t been as seamless.

So they are certainly still seeing some employer activity, said Jan Basso, assistant Vice President of experiential learning and career development at Wilfrid Laurier University.
