Keep sanitizing those carts aren’t available and it’s unsure how well, if at all, the carts are sterilized. One store’s hand sanitation unit was located behind a sign and it was dirty, empty, and awkward to use. Another store had wipes but its hand sanitizer unit’s pedal faced the door so that you couldn’t access it. Some dispenser units aren’t being cleaned and have garbage in the catch wells. Garbage containers are absent to dispose of used wipes. Many people are walking in and not sanitizing, and I saw people without masks. Please revisit and enforce your entryway and exit sanitation standards and masking protocols to keep it safe for all of us. It helps to have an employee present at the entryway (during busy times) to ensure protocols are

Province offers guidelines for trick-or-treaters
Letter to Editor
Dear Editor: While grocery shopping in Leamington this summer and fall, I noticed that some grocery stores are loosening sanitation protocols at their entryways. I would like to convey my appreciation to those grocery stores that are doing a great job. Those are the ones I will be shopping in from now on. It is essential to the health of our community that each store manager inspect and uphold effective COVID sanitation protocols at entryways, until the pandemic is officially over. In the best situation, an employee sprays the carts and/or spray containers are made available to do it ourselves. In some stores, wipes are available to sanitize the cart handles, but in others even wipes
followed and customers are assisted. With the cold and flu season coming up fast, schools open, and the Delta variant raging in some provinces, it is my concern that grocery store entryways uphold high standards for the prevention of the spread of COVID infections in our community. – Kate Partridge, Leamington
ONTARIO – The province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore, has given the okay for Ontarians to celebrate Halloween this year. The provincial guidelines state: “do not sing or shout for your treats” and “do not ask trick-or-treaters to sing or shout for their treats,” in order to reduce the number of respiratory particles that are circulating. Here are Ontario’s 2021 Halloween guidelines for trick or treating door-todoor: • Do not crowd doorsteps – take turns one at a time. Avoid high-touch surfaces such as railings and doorbells. • Keep interactions brief with those giving out treats. • Trick-or-treat outdoors as much as possible.
• Do not sing or shout for your treats. • Use hand sanitizer often, especially before and after handling your face covering, after touching frequently touched surfaces, when you arrive home from trick-or-treating, and before and after handling or eating treats. • Both trick-or-treaters and people handing out candy should wear a face covering. A costume mask is not a substitute for a face covering. A costume mask should not be worn over a non-medical mask or face covering because it can be dangerous if the costume mask makes it hard to breathe. • There is no need to clean or disinfect pre-packaged treats. • Stay home if you have symptoms, even if they are mild.
Caldwell EDO recognized by EDCO LEAMINGTON — The Economic Development Officer for Caldwell First Nation has been recognized as one of the top ten economic development officers in Ontario. Kyra Cole was recently named to the list announced by the Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO). The award recognizes excellence in their field and achievements over the past year. “I’m honoured to receive this award and it means so much to me,” said Cole. “However, my role is that of support.

ment Plan but the strategic direction comes from the citizens and Chief and Council.” Cole gladly shared her award with the Caldwell community. “In my opinion, this award is truly about the success of the community,” she said. “Working for the Nation is an honour of mine and I’m grateful every day to get to do the work I do.” Heather Lalonde from EDCO offered her take on the awards. “Now, more than ever, it is important to highlight the significant role economic development plays
