A Place To Sit

During Ontario’s initial lockdown, people weren’t supposed to sit on park benches, due to fear of Covid-19 transmission. At the same time people need to get outside and breathe the air on occasion. Better in a park or trail than a crowded restaurant.

But many people need to be able to sit and rest. Without that, people with mobility issues, or moms with kids, or people who have travelled a great distance, or older people aren’t going to be able to go out at all.

Even in a pandemic, our policy makers need to plan for all of us.
