Lockdown 2.0 - How to Stay Busy in Isolation, Support Small Business, and Take Care of your Mental Health

We are now in our second government-issued lockdown. One would think the second time around would be easier but there is nothing easy about socially isolating oneself, staying busy at home, keeping your business afloat with no business coming in, and overall feeling like you are living in limbo.

I think this article is important to let you all know that whatever you are feeling, whether it's a much-needed break from the fast pace of life or fear of the unknown, you are not alone. Through social media, I have reached out to see what people in our community have been doing to cope with the lockdown and below are a few of the responses that I received.

Fenelon Falls Got Heart

Submitted by Dana Bachman

Today, Saturday, November 28, was a beautiful sunny day. As I travelled around doing my errands in Fenelon Falls I was struck by what a big-hearted community we are. At Sobeys, a lady in a wheelchair was sitting beside the “Out” door collecting money for the Salvation Army. In a corner of the Sobeys parking lot, two young boys were waving plastic jugs of windshield washer fluid. Trentside Baptist church was offering windshield washer fluid fill up...for free! Not even asking for a donation.
