If you don't want to go out, this company will deliver fruits, veggies, milk, eggs, vegan salads to your home. They have just extended their coverage area to include Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, Innisfil and Collingwood. The upside is your produce is being exposed to many people and you don't have to leave the house. https://fruitsuite.ca

My fellow Aurorans, I wanted to let you know that out of care and concern for our residents the Town of Aurora is declaring a state of emergency. This decision ...was not made lightly. We are following the lead from the Province of Ontario to ensure that we can properly support the long-term needs of our businesses and residents. Declaring an emergency allows Council and staff to assess the ongoing crisis and provide additional resources to help our community as necessary. In an effort to ensure the safety of our residents and staff, we have closed Town Hall, the JOC, all recreational facilities, the Aurora Public Library, the Aurora Museum and Cultural Centre and the Aurora Seniors’ Centre. We have also cancelled some of our upcoming events to ensure the spread of this virus is contained. We will still be servicing the needs of the public through email and phone. Services such as water, wastewater, roads, parks maintenance and solid waste collection services are not expected to be affected. We have also temporarily suspended overnight parking enforcement. This restriction will not apply if we have a snow event. Daytime parking enforcement is still active for all general offences and complaints. We have also approved an exemption to the noise bylaw that will allow deliveries at all times to ensure that our retail businesses and local grocery stores are fully stocked and able to service the needs of our residents. We are also currently in discussions to create some options for tax deferrals which we will announce soon. We will be meeting this afternoon with our emergency operations team to see how we can further monitor the situation and support our residents. My top priority is to keep our citizens safe. Every step and action that we take ensures that the proper procedures are in place to contain and limit the spread of this virus. I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this COVID-19 crisis and practicing social distancing, washing your hands frequently, containing your cough, avoiding contact with people who are sick and staying home if you are feeling ill. We need to come together as a Town to help each other and stop the spread of this virus. My sincere thanks and support goes out to all the doctors, nurses and first responders who are committed to taking care of those who are sick. We applaud your efforts to help keep our community safe.
