A Kitchener grocery store is the latest store or person in the area to be fined for not complying with the province’s emergency order, according to Waterloo Region CAO Mike Murray.
He would not provide further details about the store or what the infraction was although Murray did say it was levied a $750 fine.
“We’ve consistently through this whole period not identified specific organizations or people that are charged, but we’ve given the general classification and so I think we’re just continuing with that approach,” he explained.
