Ontario's COVID-19 Cottage Quandary

The Agenda with Steve Paikin

View Transcript

While the cottage seems like the perfect place to practice physical distancing during the pandemic, it's a little more complicated than that. What does a potential influx of people from the city mean for full-time residents, businesses, and health care in Ontario's cottage country. To discuss, The Agenda welcomes Muskoka Lakes Mayor Phil Harding; Terry Rees, executive director of the Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations; and Kim Krech, owner of the Temagami Marina.
