You're welcome. I appreciate the hard work you put in. Now why don't we destroy 200 000 small businesses and put your great grandkids into debt so you can live in your long term care home for another month circling the drain waiting for the next stiff breeze to push you in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I understand he later earned a degree in Public Health Admin or something like that. One of the problems with removing him is there is a shortage of 'qualified' Public Health professionals. Apparently, there are a number of Districts with 'Acting' Heads for that reason. The other challenge is he is a card carrying Conservative and they will circle the wagons. He ran (unsuccessfully) in about 2004-2008 to be Conservative Candidate (MPP I think). Not defending him by any means, just offering info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha4ever Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Looks like some Good News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! News Release: Health Unit Opens Skating Rinks, Skating Trails, Tobogganing Hills, OFSC Snowmobile Trails and Snowmobile Trails on Crown Land. Posted on Friday February 19, 2021 NORTH BAY, ON – The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Heath Unit) is lifting closures of outdoor skating rinks, skating trails, tobogganing hills, Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) snowmobile trails and snowmobile trails on Crown Land in the district effective Monday February 22, 2021. The outdoor amenities were closed in January 2021, after numerous complaints about individuals and groups not following public health measures. Municipalities are asked to assess their plan and capacity to be able to safely open their outdoor recreational amenities in compliance with COVID-19 public health measures. Plans must ensure that individuals are following public health measures, such as physical distancing, following gathering limits and wearing a face covering, as required. If there is evidence that public health measures are not being followed, the Health Unit will re-evaluate the situation, potentially resulting in the closure of these outdoor amenities. OFSC snowmobile trails and snowmobile trails on Crown Land are also permitted to reopen as of February 22, 2021. This decision was made through consultation with the OFSC, who have outlined a comprehensive COVID-19 Flex Trails plan. If there is evidence that public health measures are not being followed, the Health Unit will re-evaluate the situation, potentially reclosing these trails. Outdoor physical activity, such as walking, running, playing outside and biking are important for physical and mental health and still recommended by the Health Unit. However, all activities outside the house need to be done with extreme caution, following the COVID-19 public health measures, and should be done close to home. If you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has it, first self-isolate and then use Ontario's Self-Assessment Tool to see if you need to seek further care. If you need further assistance call your health care provider or the Health Unit at 1-800-563-2808. If you have severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, you should call 911 and mention your symptoms.

4mysled Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 so here is my question, NB/PS is still under a stay at home order, does this mean the that we cannot go and ride on the trails during this time, I have a cottage in the Parry Sound district, but it is not my place of residence. So if I want to ride up to the cottage would I be breaking the laws? As for the other regions that are not in a stay at home order, do we think they will be connecting the trails that cross over the health districts. Just trying to plan what is left of the winter.

No offence to whits-end or anyone else here....but he certainly has more medical qualifications than anyone on this forum if you don't mind me saying so. Having a specialization takes more schooling as well. Where did everyone here showing charts and spouting quackery get their medical degrees? BTW - the danger of the variants is that a person showing no symptoms goes longer before showing symptoms than in previous iterations and is infectious to others for a longer period of time without knowing it. Fact. No charts. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) I think it might have been because NBPSHU was swamped with sledders a few times as their trails opened ahead of most other places. I think there may have been complaints from certain vocal people in some of the small towns. (Not saying that I supported the closure.)
