Meanwhile in Canada:

Healthcare workers converted a hockey arena into a vaccination clinic.

After getting their shot, people started leaving sticky notes behind, as an encouragement for others.

The notes now go around the entire hockey rink.

Even more alarming is that it's creating an even greater crisis for families who are already living in poverty and trying to find more affordable housing in Niagara.

[Steven Gallagher @SteveGMedia]

Why do we celebrate the alarming and skyrocketing home prices in Niagara? Housing (owning and renting) is becoming unaffordable for so many in Niagara. Prices are not reflective of our local economy, but are driven by outside influences. Why celebrate that? It’s sad.
