KITCHENER -- Stores were busy on Monday as people prepared for a province-wide lockdown at the end of the week. More than a dozen people were lined up at a Kitchener grocery store on Monday afternoon. The Costco in Waterloo was also busy, along with the parking lot at Fairview Park Mall. "We are going in to get the basic needs that you need grocery-wise, like sugar, milk and then we are stepping back out," Kitchener resident Peggy Morrison said. "I don't like it, but you know what, it is for the safety of everybody and for our well-being, so I'm all for it," said Gloria Vieira, who is preparing for a lockdown.
