This week the Ontario government extended construction hours around the clock to give worksite managers more flexibility to stagger shifts, limit the number of people in one place, and take reasonable precautions to keep workers safe and healthy on essential construction projects.

This is a good step to keep workers safe while building critical infrastructure to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. More changes will be coming as we do our best to move forward while the coronavirus runs its course.

if your business or organization has a “good news story” about your efforts to battle this pandemic, make sure to let me know about it before next Friday at noon so it can be included in the next issue of the Weekly Round Up.

Thanks for reading. Be strong, healthy and safe.

Best Regards,

Arnie Gess, Publisher and President
