Along Regina’s 13th Avenue, local businesses have posted signs telling customers how to access their services — from online ordering to doorstep delivery to curbside pickup. “It’s about staying viable,” said Todd Murray, an owner of Cathedral Pet Shop. “We forced ourselves to close,” he said. ” No one could come in and have a look and that made some serious challenges.” The brightly-painted building at 2924 13th Ave., normally open to humans and pets, has been closed to the public for 10 days amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The neighbourhood association is promoting a list of its area businesses to drum up support, and Cathedral Pet Shop is included.
