On Friday July 31st, Toronto and Peel will move into Stage 3 following positive local trends of key public health indicators, including lower transmission of #COVID19.
They will join the 31 public health regions that already moved into Stage 3.

Windsor-Essex, the only other area of the province that is still in Stage 2, will not be permitted to proceed to the next phase at this point. The region is still struggling with outbreaks among farm workers.

Cascades Casino in Chatham is reopening its restaurant for indoor dining and takeout today but the gaming side of the business will remain closed.

In a letter to the Primetime Emmy Award nominees, Jimmy Kimmel and the executive producers wrote, “We never want to lose the significance of being nominated for, and maybe winning, an Emmy, but we’re going to do [the show] in a way that is appropriate to the moment.” The letter also tells the nominees what to expect and the dress code. 

Without a red carpet, what should #Emmys attendees prepare for? “Our informal theme for the night is ‘come as you are, but make an effort!'”

72nd Primetime Emmy Awards are on September 20th.
