Reopening Ontario/Quebec
Retail stores are slowly opening in theses provinces, but not all.
Some will limit access to a certain number of customers, with the standard precautions, whilst chains will simply open a limited amount of central locations, like Indigo, or continue with curbs orders, like Sunrise Records.
Contact your favourite music and book stores for details.
