CORNWALL, Ontario – In a year dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement sat down with Seaway News to talk about the notable events of 2020, and a few things she expects for 2021. “The highlights for me have been how resilient we have been as a community,” said Clement, referring to the response of different parts of the community to the pandemic. Clement pointed out that Cornwall had experience with the pandemic before much of the rest of the province. In February, Cornwall hosted Canadian passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, who were being quarantined at the Nav Centre after possibly being exposed to COVID-19.
