Question 1: What are your feelings about wearing masks? Do you feel that masks should be mandated by government officials? Why or why not? Are these measures effective against the spread of COVID-19?
I don’t mind, if it gives the older generation a better chance of survival or even just peace of mind, then it’s worth it to me

Question 2: The Canadian - U.S. border continues to be closed to non-essential travel. Is this a good or bad decision for Canada? When should the border be reopened fully

Question 3: Niagara has seen a large number of visitors from other regions of Ontario on weekends and holidays. This has helped businesses and tourism. But it has also led to crowded venues and the potential spread of COVID-19. What can be done to balance safety and economics?
No help here... we don’t go many places for this reason but it’s needed for the businesses to survive.

Question 4: Schools from kindergarten through university/college have reopened? How has the Ontario government handled the return to school? Are schools safe for students, teachers and staff? Is online learning a good alternative?

Question 5: Do you think that there will be a significant second wave in Canada? Why?
Yes, it’s already starting. Everyone is letting their guards down and think because our numbers were so low that this was all a hoax. Meanwhile, our numbers could have been MUCH worse if al these measures weren’t implemented so early on.

Question 6: Most people had to cancel plans for a special event, vacation, or activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What did you miss out on? Would you be comfortable returning to these within the next year?
Just family gatherings and sports. I’m comfortable seeing my family outdoors but that’s it.
