I'm probably gonna need a frequent flyer card with lotsa rewards for multiple visits (along with several hours at the gym!). Soft serve with choices is the penultimate for me!

I'm wondering how this is allowed under the new restrictions when golf isn't? An oversight maybe? Not really something that affects me but it seems logical that if golf is banned, outdoor gatherings restricted in size then this activity should have fallen in the prohibited category simply because it will cause groupings. If it is deemed safe and permitted I hope all thoroughly enjoy it - it'd be great to have something to do without looking over your shoulder for enforcement!

This great idea needs to be rolled out to every single police facility across the nation! Let's see how long that would take the scammers to move on if every single buyer were to use this venue. Sure, some will not be able to or want to use it to purchase, let the buyer know they are the author of their own misfortune should they get taken! This should eliminate a vast majority of being taken by scammers IF it gets used!

Not going anywhere that isn't necessary (work, basic shopping needs only) means the vehicle is parked a lot more. Might become more of a habit in future!

Not sure how this program can identify as "essential" and thereby be exempt from "stay at home" or "lockdown" as detailed by all levels of government when all similar services to the public are ordered closed. The safety protocols are no different from those utilized by professional hairstylists/barbers before the lockdown, yet they cannot be open so how can the exact same situation in a school be permitted????

Will the hours be as reported on the website without the operators closing whenever they feel like it as is current practice? What about Bus Parcel Express, Ticket sales etc? Or is it just gonna be a whistle stop? This is very incomplete reporting!

During a pandemic they wanna lure people from hotspots to here? Not exactly sure wherein the wisdom or logic may be found with this effort!

Whiners will be all over this effort - end result will be a province wide lockdown and travel ban, you know, like in the spring! I just can't believe the amount of people complaining against the efforts to control the pandemic along with how they are attempting to justify their points. The best joke right now is those who either deny the pandemic is having any impact or those who attempt to influence others to ignore the guidelines. Hmm Hmmm. Yep. Case counts approaching 1600 a day (it was a lot lower than that in the spring!) and protesters want to end all efforts to reverse the curve. Wonder what the daily counts of cases and deaths would be if we all stop trying!
