Trucker convoy organizer calls for ‘peaceful protest’ without ‘violence’ or ‘threats’ Convoys travelling from Sarnia and Windsor are set to meet at the Flying J Travel Center on Highbury Avenue South at around 11 a.m.Organizers say the so-called “freedom convoy” will stick around for at least an hour before heading eastbound on Highway 401 toward Drumbo and eventually stopping in Kingston for the day.While the convoy was originally set to meet in London at 8 a.m., organizers announced an updated time of arrival on Wednesday afternoon.There’s no word on how large the crowd will be in London, but provincial police will be on hand to monitor the protest.“What we want is for the demonstrators to be safe, we want people who may gather to watch the convoy go through to be safe and we want those who are on the road with the demonstrators as motorists to be safe as well,” said Derek Rogers, the regional media relations coordinator for West Region OPP.“We will have a significant number of officers in the area to maintain an orderly flow and to ensure that everybody remains safe.” As trucker convoy rolls to Ottawa, grocery stores say supply issues have ‘started to ease’ Rogers says drivers should expect delays on Highway 401 when the convoy arrives, as well as on any roads that converge on the 401.On top of the potential for heavy traffic, drivers should also be mindful of the weather.

28 in isolation amid COVID-19 outbreak at The Salvation Army Centre of Hope in London, Ont.

COVID-19 outbreak was declared this week at The Salvation Army Centre of Hope in London, Ont.The centre’s executive director Jon DeActis told Global News the outbreak was declared on Wednesday by the Middlesex-London Health Unit after a number of clients at the shelter either tested positive for the virus or were identified as close contacts. Here’s a look at Ontario’s planned timeline to lift COVID-19 restrictions As of Thursday evening, 18 clients had been impacted by the outbreak, half of whom have tested positive while the other half were identified as close contacts, according to DeActis.“They’re all in isolation, we’re full, but we’re isolating every single person and we’re using our chapel to isolate as well,” DeActis said.“The problem is the isolation beds were full, so we can’t get them moved from our place into the isolation beds, which are in the hotels, so once those beds become available we’re moving our clients into those.”Another 10 staff members are isolating at home, three of whom have tested positive while the rest are close contacts.Since the Centre of Hope is a congregate setting, staff are required to isolate for 10 days rather than five.DeActis says the Centre of Hope is in contact every day with the MLHU as the outbreak continues, adding that the centre has been given increased access to PCR testing as well.
