TORONTO, June 11, 2021 – As stores gradually begin to reopen across the province of Ontario today, as part of Step One of Ontario’s reopening, Toronto small businesses are getting set to welcome their customers back to ‘Shop Small.’
Step One includes allowing bars and restaurants to serve customers on patios and allowing non-essential retail stores to reopen for the first time in several months.
As part of Step One essential and other select retail stores are permitted to reopen at 25 per cent capacity, with no restrictions on the goods that can be sold.
