Dear Editor:
We are happy to see that, for the most part, concerned residents are attempting to abide by the current, but slightly confusing, order issued on April 16 to remain at your residence except for essential travel.
What amazes me is the number of people feel that travelling to their cottage in the north country is part of the stay-at-home order. Although I agree the logic that being outdoors is likely safer then staying cooped up all the time, I do not understand why the government stands by and allows this travel to the north to be acceptable while many others would like to go camping or have a trailer in parks that are certainly in the same outdoor space as cottages, and yet the government has made it clear all parks remain closed under the order.
Clearly it seems there are double standards when it comes to who gets to go where and possibly the government should look at opening up all outdoor spaces so that people can social distance at home and in the their camping/trailer environment.
Pat Brydges,
