Guidance from the Government
The Federal and Provincial governments have released an agreed-upon set of common principles to follow with respect to re-opening.

My assistant Sandi and I proceeded to launch anyways, figuring we’d be in the clear by noon that day.
Fast forward to three years later: we are in a very different world. Even before the current virus pandemic, the ease and comfort of communicating and working through tech have moved forward at such a fast clip.
Over the last few weeks (yes, the virus has only been here for a few weeks!), the world has been forced to face remote working and to engage in the online economy. For those of us already there, it’s been no big deal, but it’s not a system you can just whip up overnight.
