Businesses operating on the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation are moving back to curbside pick-up and window service.
The changes come amid a COVID-19 outbreak on the First Nation located near Golden Lake, Ontario.
The Pikwakanagan Emergency Response Control Group made the announcement on Monday (December 27th, 2021) and says there are now a number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the First Nation.
The new restrictions are currently in effect which requires window service or curbside pick-up to be reinstated.
