Grocery stores to close Friday, Sunday over Easter says Ford

Premier Ford has said that grocery stores will be closed Friday and Sunday over the Easter weekend in order to give both employees and their employers a chance to rest and regroup during the ongoing demands of the COVID-19 crisis. “We’ve been listening to business owners and employees – the truth is that everyone working in our grocery stores and pharmacies, our truck drivers and those working the line, they have been working day and night for weeks to keep the food and medicine we need on the shelves,” Ford said at his daily news conference on Wednesday afternoon at Queen’s Park.
