From the Newsroom:
With most mask protocols lifted on Monday in Ontario, staff reporter Marg. Bruineman takes a look at what that means and what new issues could arise.
Also this week, columnist Wendy King says there is a lack of new information around COVID protocols and she feels abandoned by elected officials.
Sports columnist Peter Robinson speaks to former NHLer and local hockey coach Greg Hotham about more cancellations possibly happening. "If that happens, all these kids will have again worked so hard for nothing," Hotham says.
