Some residents of the Thorncliffe and Flemingdon Park neighbourhoods say they fear the possible closure of their local ServiceOntario location will disrupt vital access for immigrants and refugees starting life in Canada.
Published Thursday, April 8, 2021 5:08PM EDT The Ontario government announced recently that people over the age of 18 living in neighborhoods disproportionately affected by COVID-19 would be soon eligible for a vaccine. The government released some details during the provincewide stay-at-home order announcement on Wednesday, but many questions remained on who would be eligible for the expanded rollout and how and when they could book. CTV News Toronto has looked into these questions, and compiled a list of everything you need to know about the changes.
Who is eligible? The Ontario government says the province will start vaccinating education workers the week of April 12, including staff who work with special education students and staff in high-risk neighbourhoods in Toronto and Peel Region.
