Ontario cottage owners in popular waterfront communities along Lake Erie have been banned from their seasonal homes by the region’s medical officer of health in a bid to stop COVID-19 spread from Toronto and other cities.
The drastic emergency health order is such a hot potato, however, notice of the order, made April 23, has not yet been published or confirmed to property owners; the mayors of counties the order covers say they’re struggling with it; and a councilor inquired how to fire the chief medical officer.
“Personal property rights are fundamentally what inspired me to run in politics, so am I entirely comfortable with the decision of our medical officer of health? I’m not,” Kristal Chopp, the mayor of Norfolk County, said in an interview.
