While some people flocked to Ontario cottage country for the May long weekend, Muskoka’s mayors say the region was relatively quiet in comparison to previous years as the province continues to battle the novel coronavirus pandemic. “Everyone was hyping it that it was going to go crazy,” Muskoka Lakes Mayor Phil Harding told Global News. “I personally assumed that it would be relatively quiet because shops weren’t really open, things were just opening up, people were still fearful. “Yes, there were a number of people up, but most people isolated.” Leading up to the Victoria Day long weekend, Muskoka’s mayors told Global News it would be better that people hold off from visiting the cottage if they didn’t need to.
