Good to see Manitoba expanding its support for small business owners by reopening its grant program. Hoping Doug Ford will do the same.

Children's Dance Studios are overwhelmingly owned by women, and attended by young girls. No industry has been closed longer. We have done our part to support public health. Now we need yours. Provide a 3rd round of funding. Jane McKenna Lisa MacLeod Dan Kelly

We have been working closely with Ontario Cheerleading Federation, trying to support these predominantly female-led businesses. Jane McKenna Lisa MacLeod

More predominantly female-led businesses and industries being left behind. Lisa MacLeod Jane McKenna Dan Kelly

With numbers like these, it is beyond ridiculous that Ontario remains in lockdown. SK & AB will remove nearly all COVID restrictions within days while Ontario still has presented no plan to fully reopen. Even step 3 (in late July) is a partial reopening of most businesses.

Another tragic loss of a dance studio. Women-led businesses continue to bear the brunt of public health measures. We have done our part, but need the Government's support with a 3rd round of funding for those in Stage 3. Roman Baber Jane McKenna Lisa MacLeod Doug Ford

Children's Dance Studio owners are NOT quite happy being in step 2. Most have been closed for in-person classes since November. The Premier Doug Ford is not only not providing additional support, we are not sure he even knows we exist given his comments. Lisa MacLeod

The study released today by Sick Kids Hospital concerning the mental health of young children impacted by school closures and no activities shows how important it is that dance schools be given a chance to survive into the Fall. Doug Ford Lisa MacLeod Dan Kelly Christine Elliott

This study shows why it is more important than ever that children's activities such as dance schools be given a chance at surviving into the Fall after months of closures. We need another round of funding Doug Ford! Monique Taylor Christine Elliott Lisa MacLeod Dan Kelly

As usual, Dan Kelly Dan Kelly hits the nail on the head. How can you plan staffing, register students, or anything else with no information? We were promised this by Lisa MacLeod's office weeks ago in a meeting. And then ghosted as usual. Doug Ford Colin D'Mello | Global News @CBCQueensPark

Children need their 'third places' too. This Government has not only failed children, it has failed the businesses like dance studios that these children will need to be there for them in the Fall. We need another round of funding. Andrea Horwath Doug Ford Lisa MacLeod

Once again, children’s service providers are being asked to do the work that the Ontario PC Party does not have the courage to do. Our facilities are far safer than schools, but guess where vaccinations are required? Doug Ford Dan Kelly thestar.com/business/2021/…

Our members in York are having to deliver the heartbreaking news that dancers cannot return to class even if they have received their first dose, or plan to get their second one this week. Can Paul Calandra or York Region explain this to a 12 year old? Dan Kelly josh rubin CP24

So Doug Ford will pay our hydro and gas bill while we are closed (and not using any)? With most dance studios experiencing income losses in the 10s of 1000s, this is almost an insult. And the work to get the rebate will be an insult. Dan Kelly Canadian Chamber of Commerce

What is @ongov doing between now and Jan 17 to make school safer when it reopens?
