The Ontario government is providing more than $1.1 million in services relief funding to the City of Peterborough to help protect the most vulnerable people in response to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Peterborough-Kawartha MPP Dave Smith announced Thursday that the city can best determine how the $1,101,100 in funding will be distributed to provide people in the community with support.
Smith noted other municipalities and service providers, such as homeless shelters, food banks, emergency services, charities and non-profits, have used relief funding to help support the delivery of critical services, hire additional staff, acquire personal protective equipment and find ways to improve physical distancing and self-isolation.
