Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette says it’s time to open up personal care service in the province.
With vaccinations soaring and COVID-19 numbers falling to just 345 cases in the province today, the mayor of Halton Hills is calling on Premier Doug Ford to immediately move into Stage 2 of the province’s Roadmap to Reopen.
That would allow local residents to get their hair cut, have nail pedicures done along with other personal care services.
Ford has hinted at moving into Stage 2 sooner than planned, but so far has held firm with the July 2 start date.
“I support getting personal care service to be allowed to open early,” the Halton Hills mayor tweeted out on Friday afternoon. “We now have over 70 per cent vaccinated and 25 per cent with two does.
“It’s time to let them make a living. @fordnation allow them to open restrictions.”
