Stewart’s Decorating has been ordered to close.
On Saturday, the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit issued a Section 22 Order under the Health Protection and Promotion Act, ordering Alexandra Stewart (store owner), to close the business premises as a result of “continued non-compliance” with Ontario’s lockdown and public health restrictions.
The Section 22 Order requires the business to remain closed to the public and all patrons, including the prohibition of curbside pickup, with the exception of delivery and service by telephone or remote means.
In a release, the Health Unit says between January 25, 2021 and April 16, 2021, it took various actions in an effort to correct the non-compliance “including providing education and warnings, followed by the issuance of multiple Provincial Offence proceedings.”
The Health Unit says non-compliance with the issued Section 22 Order may, upon conviction, result in a fine of up to $5,000 per day of non-compliance for individuals, and up to $25,000.00 per day for corporations.
The business did not comment on the issued order.
