“Oakville businesses are ready to welcome residents back with new safety protocols to keep staff and customers safe,” said Mayor Rob Burton. “Through the Welcome Back Oakville campaign, the Task Force is working together with Oakville businesses to encourage residents to explore new ways of safely supporting local.”
Welcome Back Oakville kicked off Monday (June 29) with an interactive map, available at exploreoakville.maps.arcgis.com that allows residents to find local businesses by type of service currently open.
According to the official media release, the Welcome Back Oakville campaign will include a series of online videos spotlighting “the familiar faces and safe spaces” of Oakville’s businesses.
Businesses and consumers are encouraged to use the #WelcomeBackOakville hashtag to show local support online.
