Canadian Olympic athletes who won medals in either Tokyo or Beijing are being financially rewarded for their efforts — $20,000 for a gold, $15,000 for a silver and $10,000 for a bronze
Canadian Paralympians who reached the podium in those same Games won't receive a single dollar
@stephen_taylor Really hoping places that are kid attractions can keep the passport . I feel much better taking my 4 and 2 year old to the aquarium knowing those that can be vaccinated are.
COVID-related public health measures will be lifted. Not all at once & at different paces in different provinces.
Senior political & public health leadership across the country have clearly stated this.
Lifting these measures is best driven by local data rather than ideology.
Vaccine passports and mandates were instituted based on scientific reasons. Their removal should also be based on scientific reasons and not based on a political ideology. Leadership doesn’t mean to be the first to do something. Leadership is to be the first to do the right thing

AMAZING NEWS: The team @thelocalhealth has introduced the Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) Tracker—a citizen-powered tool for anonymous reporting of rapid antigen test results for Toronto students.
RT to spread the word and to show them how much you appreciate their work & generosity.
It's official. Starting today, people in Nova Scotia can pick up free rapid COVID tests at every single library in that province.
Meanwhile, in Ontario, 24 million rapid tests are sitting on shelves.
RT if you want access to free rapid tests now.
So let me get this straight: Two weeks ago, the Ontario government celebrated a new program that would provide free menstrual products for ALL Ontario students but...the program doesn't include First Nations schools?
This isn't something to celebrate. This is just cruel.
Just a reminder that this government CANCELLED the Indigenous curriculum writing teams when they came into office. Literally one of the first things they cut. #OntEd
