March 1st is the 60th day of the year. There are 305 days remaining until the end of the year.

As of 12:01am this morning Ontario has entered Phase 3.

Phase 3 will remove all capacity limits in all indoor settings — including “high-risk” ones like nightclubs and bath houses — as well as the elimination of restrictions on social get-togethers.

The biggest change will be the lifting of Ontario’s proof of vaccination requirement for indoor non-essential settings. This means that businesses will no longer be required to ask patrons for proof of at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to allow entry.

Businesses can, however, choose to keep the mandate active.

Masking will remain in place; however officials have hinted the policy could be lifted sometime in March.

The Chatham-Kent Vaccination clinic is closed today and tomorrow as the move to the new location is completed.

The vaccination centre will reopen on Thursday, March 3rd at 730 Richmond Street (Former YA Canada Building) 9-4. For March the clinic will open every Wednesday and Saturday for walk-ins for all eligible residents who are looking to receive their first, second, or booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

The clinic hours will be Wednesday 1:30-7:30 and Saturday 9-4.

If you are are looking to ensure a specific appointment time can still book an appointment at GetYourShotCK.ca or by calling 519-351-1010.

Good news/bad news. Good news: TikTok videos can now be up to 10 minutes long. The bad news: TikTok videos can now be up to 10 minutes long.

TikTok announced the change yesterday, saying they hope the increase will, quote, “unleash even more creative possibilities for our creators around the world.”

When TikTok started, videos had a 15-second limit. Then they raised it to a minute. Last year, they upped it to three minutes.
