Life in grey zone lockdown in Toronto may be only slightly less prohibitive than life in the provincewide shutdown we were under for more than two months, but residents are already out enjoying the sun and getting their shop on now that non-essential stores are open again and the stay-at-home order is technically lifted as of Monday. But, with Toronto among the final few regions to shed the most rigorous of lockdown restrictions and enter Ontario's colour-coded reopening framework, some are wondering when we will get to open up further and join locales like nearby York, Durham and Hamilton, which have all been in the Red-Control zone for weeks.
