Stay at Home Order- Ontario
If you are required to report to the work site, you should have received a letter to present, in case you are questioned while travelling to and from work.
Please, note, that under the actual Ontario order, Obtaining goods and Services #11: obtaining government services is allowed. This should be clear enough to prevent or dispute any potential fine. The union is also requesting a plan be put in place, in case members experience issues. You can also try contacting your manager directly if you have a problem and try to carry your letter and work identification on your person.
