What happened to summer? Here we are in the middle of September and in a blink the summer has passed us!

Currently, Wellington-Dufferin health region now has over 75% of population that have had at least 1 dose of vaccination (or scheduled) and brighter days are ahead for us all as we move to put this pandemic behind us.
