Toronto is a city built on community strength. While the peak challenges of pandemic-era social distancing are behind us, the lessons we learned in public health safety, community hygiene and Toronto social care remain more relevant than ever.
As we continue to enjoy the GTA’s vibrant sports, culture and retail scenes, maintaining a health-first mindset ensures our city stays open, active, and thriving.
The Heart of Toronto’s Health Response
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Ontario health medical officials, frontline healthcare workers, and retail staff who worked tirelessly to keep the GTA safe. Their efforts during times of uncertainty showed us the power of a coordinated response. Because of these essential workers, we’ve developed better workplace safety protocols and a stronger sense of communal responsibility.
Best Practices for a Healthy Community
Even in a post-pandemic world, small daily actions prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses like the flu or common cold. Let’s keep these wellness habits part of our “New Normal” in Toronto:
- Mindful Personal Space: Respecting personal boundaries in crowded public transit or busy retail shops is a simple way to practice community social distancing.
- Prioritizing Hygiene: Frequent handwashing and the use of hand sanitizer in public places remain the gold standard for illness prevention.
- Flexible Wellness: If you’re feeling under the weather, choosing to stay home or work remotely helps keep your colleagues and neighbours healthy.
- Supporting Local GTA Retail: Our city thrives when local businesses are healthy. Practicing good hygiene while shopping supports a safe environment for both customers and staff.
This is high-time for filing taxes. Most of us have to file our taxes in time (before April 31). As our contribution to the effort, Instaccountant is also providing remote tax filing services across Canada without any extra charges. You do not have to personally come down to our office to get your tax return filed. We will do it remotely without impacting the quality of work or service.
A Stronger, Healthier Toronto
Toronto has always been a leader in health and safety. By observing simple preventative health measures, we protect our most vulnerable citizens and ensure that our cultural and sports events continue to bring us together without interruption.
Toronto is strong, resilient and ready to overcome this. Let’s stay safe, stay home and protect our neighbours.
