So being in an apartment building the landlord can renovate? I really don’t appreciate the floor above my bedroom being drilled at 8:30 am for the next several months because the people they hire take so long to complete a simple job! It shouldn’t be allowed..

Good afternoon,
Due to new restrictions, we have a major issue here which has not been clarified by website of Government of Canada. My husband is a contractor and regarding the “residential construction”we need to make sure if he is able to continue his job.

In your website below it says (article i):

Construction activities or projects and related services, including land surveying and demolition services, that,

(i) are residential construction activities or projects and related services;

I will appreciate if you inform me based on what credible source did you announce this news?
Thanks

This list is hilarious!!! They have gone through the pain of listing every single construction project imaginable which started before Apr 17, 2021 !!!!! Why not just say any construction project started before April 17, 2021 is not impacted by the current lock down? Hence, GO projects at some point were the hot spots of work related outbreaks. What is it with Ford and construction???

We have an extremely noisy construction site across the street and we unfortunately have to follow a stay at home order. I see the workers from my front window and very few are following the social distancing rules through no fault of their own, simply due to the nature of the job. The noise level surpasses 80 decibels at times and we have to wear industrial hearing protection. It’s a 22 storey condominium. In what universe is this an essential construction site?
