TORONTO -- In the lakeside community of Port Dover, Ont., locals have a message for anyone thinking of travelling there this holiday weekend: don’t.“Just this while longer, let us get over it,” she said.
“The premier speaks of wanting to gradually reopen the province,” Kristal Chopp, Norfolk County Mayor, said. “There is no ‘gradual’ in this case.”The trouble is, Norfolk only has six bylaw officers who patrol 1,700 square kilometres. The OPP has refused to help ticket cottagers. “We have workers that are putting themselves at risk,” she said. “Essential employees [working] every day.”
And in Haida Gwaii, B.C., non-residents who arrive by ferry are being turned away -- a move that came only after tourists continuously ignored the Haida Nation’s ban on visitors.Locals in Canmore, Alta., are bracing for seasonal cottagers to arrive this weekend because the province refuses to allow the town to ban visitors.
