Chamber finds return to shutdown a tough pill to swallow

Disappointment doesn’t appear to even begin to express how the Kincardine and District Chamber of Commerce feels about the recent decision by the Ford government to shutdown the economy again.

Executive Director Ashley Richards tells the Shoreline Classics that businesses have been working hard since the start of the pandemic to regain some lost revenue only to see the province put up road blocks again.

Richards says she understands that the increase in COVID cases is having an impact on the health care system.

But she says the government had two years to figure it out and many business groups are now waiting to find out the details of what financial help they will be receiving.
