Canadians urged not to gather for Easter long weekend
With COVID-19 cases rising and variants spreading, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec are ramping up restrictions. As Abigail Bimman reports, for the second in year in a row, Canadians are being urged not to turn the Easter long weekend into a superspreader event – Mar 31, 2021

It’s another Easter holiday under the COVID-19 pandemic and with rising case numbers, Guelph is faced with restrictions similar to last year’s spring long weekend.

While some businesses and services are somewhat unaffected by the pandemic, they are impacted by the statutory holiday and the rest of the holiday long weekend.

Stone Road Mall is closed on Friday and Sunday as are both Walmart locations in the city.

Grocery stores are closing their doors for both days as well, but Market Fresh in downtown Guelph is open on Friday.

Rexall locations on Eramosa Road and Woolwich Street have their doors open all weekend as does the Shoppers Drug Mart on Eramosa Road.
