COVID-19 school-related cases jump by 24 per cent in latest Ontario report

Feb 7, 2022 , , , , by shlf

The number of new active cases in public schools across the province has jumped by another 24 per cent from the previous day to a total of 308.

, the province reported 64 more school-related cases — 37 more students were infected for a total of 164; seven more staff members for a total of 44; and 20 more individuals who weren’t identified for a total of 100.

There are 250 schools with an active case, which the province notes is 5.18 per cent of the 4,828 public schools.

Two schools are currently closed — Monsignor Paul Baxter elementary school in Ottawa and in Toronto.

More than 170 students and all staff at Mason Road Junior, near Bellamy Road and Eglinton Avenue East, have been ordered to stay home and isolate while the school is shut this week, Toronto Public Health said in a letter.

Epidemiologists have that the numbers in the schools aren’t a surprise, and that the cases will be proportionate to the amount of COVID that’s in the community. Ontario reported 554 additional cases overall across the province.

Tuesday’s numbers reflect reports from over the weekend and are accurate as of 2 p.m. Monday.

There is a lag between the daily provincial data at 10:30 a.m. and news reports about infections in schools. The provincial data is current as of 2 p.m. the previous work day, and doesn’t indicate where the place of transmission occurred.

The TDSB updates its information on current COVID-19 cases throughout the day . As of 9 a.m. Tuesday, there were 48 TDSB schools with a case — 36 students and 21 staff.

‘Didn’t feel comfortable’: Collingwood restaurant returns to takeout only with COVID-19 cases on the rise

Aug 20, 2021 , , , , by shlf

While restaurants in COVID-19 hot spots such as Toronto and York Region are returning to takeout only, Simcoe County businesses have not been forced to return to Phase 2 restrictions.

However, one Collingwood restaurant has decided to shut down its dining room for the time being.

Cassie MacKell, owner of located on made the decision to offer takeout only earlier this month.

“We just didn’t feel comfortable serving members of the public with the COVID numbers being so high,” she told Simcoe.com. “You can do your best to sanitize and not touch anything, but when you’re physically serving people, there is so many points of contact.”

The bar is known for its Asian-inspired menu and creative cocktails, and has developed a following among locals. MacKell said people just want to see the business get through the pandemic.

“We are fortunate enough to have a great following. I think people want to support their local businesses,” she said.

They’re offering takeout from 4 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday, and customers can order online.

MacKell said a silver lining from COVID was the development of their takeout business.

“As soon as that happened, our takeout business grew, so now going forward, whenever everything is back to normal at some point, we will now have a successful takeout business going,” she said. “We can see how that will be beneficial.”

While it’s the best decision to keep people safe, it’s not the same as a full restaurant full of happy customers.

“It’s not that much fun only doing takeout,” she said. “We miss having people inside, we miss so much bartending and having people sit at the bar making cocktails for them.”

MacKell is hopeful things will turn around and they can open up the restaurant again.

“We really want to open inside; we’re trying to wait until the time is right for us,” she said. “We don’t judge anyone who is open.”

Federal government investing $13 million in GTA health tech, promising about 500 jobs

Aug 6, 2021 , , , , by shlf

The federal government is investing more than $13 million in four organizations in the Greater Toronto Area to help boost the region’s health technology sector.

The government hopes this will help companies come up with innovative technological solutions to the pandemic while also creating nearly 500 jobs in the region. The money is being invested through FedDev Ontario, a regional development agency for southern Ontario.

The common thread among the four organizations is their focus on using cutting-edge technology to develop health-care solutions.

The announcement was made Friday morning in a digital press conference by Mélanie Joly, minister of economic development.

“Supporting made-in-Canada health solutions is critical to solving the challenges we are facing today, while helping our economy recover,” said Joly, who is also the minister responsible for FedDev, in a news release.

“These investments from FedDev Ontario will help some of our most promising health companies advance their innovative technologies, while creating good jobs for Canadians and helping Canada stay at the forefront of health-care innovation as we work to build back better and stronger.”

Nearly half of the new money ($6.5 million) will go toward the Toronto Innovation Acceleration Partners, an organization composed of three universities, nine teaching hospitals and two research institutes. They will use the money to advance different health science technologies. The goal is to take ideas that are in the early stage and provide an avenue for them to be developed for the market.

The government says this investment will create 400 highly skilled jobs and support at least six companies to become anchor firms in the southern Ontario life sciences sector.

Mindbeacon Holdings, a company that delivers digital health care and therapy, will receive a $4 million repayable contribution. The government says it chose this company based on Canadians increasingly embracing digital health care and therapy due to the pandemic.

Cyclica, an artificial technology business looking at the process of discovering drugs and how that can be done more effectively, will receive a $2 million repayable contribution. They will use this money to commercialize a new drug design tool to help scientists develop, screen and personalize medicines for patients.

Finally, Healthism Systems, also known as Input Health, will receive a $900,000 repayable contribution. The company offers a cloud-based suite of software products to enhance patient engagement, co-ordination of care and health data analytics.

Healthism Systems expects the investment to create 20 highly skilled positions in Toronto.

The government says it chose these companies because they’re some of the region’s most promising and the pandemic has shown a need to leverage technology and invest in innovative and novel health-care solutions.

The money is also aimed at helping to boost the economy as it faces continued challenges due to the pandemic.

Correction – Oct. 9, 2020: This article was edited from a previous version that misidentified the day the announcement was made. In fact, it was made on Friday.

Electrical fire causes roughly $50,000 in damage to ex-Huronia Regional Centre building in Orillia

Jul 28, 2021 , , , , by shlf

An unoccupied and unused building at the former Huronia Regional Centre (HRC) property caught fire Friday night.

Orillia Fire Department crews were called by security staff to Building 17, located near the middle of the sprawling complex just off Memorial Avenue, Oct. 2. Once on scene, firefighters noticed the large building was full of smoke, Fire Chief Brent Thomas told Simcoe.com Saturday morning.

“On investigation an electrical fire was discovered,” he said. “To ensure the electrical fire was not smouldering in the walls, fire crews had to check in some of the walls for fire extension. We also had to clear smoke from a large building and underground access way.”

Damage is estimated at about $50,000. That number excludes destruction caused by smoke, which will be difficult to assess because renovations on the building are expected to start soon, Thomas said.

“Orillia Fire was able to determine the cause so the (Office of the) Fire Marshal will not be (called in),” he said.

No injuries were reported. At the height of the incident, there were four Orillia trucks on scene, as well as tankers from neighbouring Rama, Ramara and Oro-Medonte departments, Thomas said.

HRC was closed more than a decade ago; the property is presently operated by Infrastructure Ontario and home to a courthouse and OPP training facilities.
