If the World Health Organization is supporting this, that throws up red flags immediately. Anything they promote will only cost mega tax dollars with profits going to big pharmaceutical companies. Beware Sault Ste. Marie.

The City should start by plowing the sidewalks so seniors can walk without fear of falling.

Good idea funman.
And they could include side streets as well. Their condition to drive on has been atrocious, let alone trying to walk on side streets without sidewalks.
