Just did some investigating of travel agents and of the ones I looked at, their stores/offices in the city of Waterloo are closed for in store/ office visits but are doing on line bookings. Most had notes that it was due to covid. Edited January 21, 2021 by PISTON LAKE CRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly a direct drive there. I was thinking the exact same thing! There are loads more places to access D11 trails for Hwy 11 further south that have seen far more traffic without any complaints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 They are not shut down because people are still legally allowed to travel - it's a "recommendation" - nothing more - hence the pleading for people to "do the right thing". There is no definition of "essential" in the legislation either - so anything could qualify. As long as that is all going on - we are getting locked down for what reason exactly? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just “North Bay Sledders”....This region is huge! D11 runs down to Novar so it impacts trails much farther south than North Bay or Mattawa as well....And certainly impacts Highland Rovers SC as half their trails are in D11 and the other in D7. This club should at the very least be exempt from this ridiculous closure based on that alone. This entire decision was made by obviously someone that has a personal issue with sledders and just wanted any excuse to close it down. At least the Simcoe Muskoka Health unit has more common sense with what the impact will be to the local businesses and human mental health. You could probably lick a sledder and not get Covid. I consider myself in full PPE when I am sledding. As a woman...just try peeing on the side of the trail and see how much gear you have to go through just so you don’t wet yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airline should be banned from Canadian airspace for transmitting Covid to Canadians. Pilots should be charged along with all managers who allowed the flight to happen. In my mind this is no different thenthe couple that were charged for spreading Covid after knowingly having a party with the British traveller who did not do 14 day quarantine. Either Covid is serious or it’s not and in my mind our government has shown how serious an issue they believe it to be by allowing a 3rd covidinfectedflight from Hati. our empty ICU departments will be needed for the new Covid positive hati refugees! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the solution is - "please quarantine for 14 days" - then end the friggin lockdown, open it up and lets get on with life here.

It is amazing that it happened twice (in one week) let alone a third time. Air Transat is Canadian out of Montreal. Pearson is no better. Have a friends son doing work there and he says it is terrifying to watch what goes on. Crowds of people just doing what they want. Hes thankful he is in an area where people aren't allowed. And yet we can't snowmobile or slide down a hill . PS. I went for a short walk today, no one around except the clown that opened his door and told me to go home.

People wearing masks think that will save them from getting covid and then go about business as usual, side to side no distancing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Saw a video of a packed plane a few weeks ago, insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it sells before then. . Good for you for staying positive. I am trying to stay positive towards the sledding season, but its getting harder to doo.
