HELLO TUESDAY Barbers and hairstylists in Ottawa, along with their colleagues in the rest of Ontario, are about to be overwhelmed. Sadly, those in the Greater Toronto area must maintain their COVID styles a little longer. The province has moved us to Stage 2 of lifting restrictions as of this Friday morning. What does this mean? 1️⃣ Restaurant patios can reopen for service 2️⃣ Hair and beauty salons, and tattoo parlours can reopen. Facial clinics must remain closed. 3️⃣ Swimming pools, splash pads, and community centres can reopen. As can worship services, as long as the people in the space do not exceed 30 per cent capacity. 4️⃣ Museums and art galleries can reopen. So can shopping centres. 5️⃣ Groups of up to ten people, and from no more than three households, can now gather. Of course, physical distancing and mask rules apply to all of the above. But it's happening people, it's happening. Tomorrow is our regular Wednesday roundup of Ottawa restaurant faves. We'd like to hear which restaurant patios that you recommend. Reply to us at hello@theottawan.com We'll see you tomorrow – Martha and Darren |
