    Extend it at least another month. Too many carriers out there with the virus just
    waiting to spread in group settings. It’s only life and death we are dealing with.

    I am writing to express my thanks and deep gratitude to the staff at Muskoka Landing! My father is a resident there and I have been able to have Skype and telephone visits with him on a regular basis. We are now able to enjoy visits on his patio ( viewed at a good distance beyond a fence) but I am able to see him. The staff have been so diligent, kind and caring. They are working very hard and it’s not easy wearing a mask all day in the heat. Their dedication does not go unnoticed. They have a quiet voice and need the community to support them. Thank you!
