City Council has approved a number of initiatives to assist restaurants and other small businesses during this period of COVID-19 as they prepare for re-opening under strict guidelines including physical distancing. The AGCO has identified changes to its legislation as it relates to licensed patios that also support establishments during this period. The temporary waiver of certain sections of City policies in alignment with the amended provincial legislation can support the businesses and the community in the delivery and enjoyment of these services.
