Premier Doug Ford announced $4 billion in funding from the province and federal government Monday that's meant to support Ontario municipalities and transit systems in the wake of COVID-19. The money will be used to support shelters, food banks, public health, and transit systems, the province says. "It's a great deal for Ontario," Ford said. Up to $2 billion will also be allocated to public transit, also shared equally between the province and federal government. Public health officials have stressed in recent days the need for young people to continue adhering to social distancing measures.
