@kprather88 Our CO 2 levels in the dining room are usually around 600 at full capacity. Combine that with 4 industrial Hepa filters it makes it a much safer indoor dining environment

That’s how it should be done by now in every classroom

Is there a school in the greater Toronto area who would like to have each classroom and office outfitted with Hepa Filters and CO2 Monitor for a month? In return we would like to collect data to learn how safe classrooms really are. Clean Air certificate for all classrooms

This is only possible because of ventilation, filtration and masks. Otherwise, chances are that the entire kitchen staff and more would be off sick now and the restaurant would be closed for the next week or more.

New tools have arrived. But what is it? They will be installed. in the washrooms. It’s not a Bose speaker or a air freshener but they will keep you safer while there

One of our employees woke up with a sore throat on Sunday and tested positive the same day. High fever yesterday and most likely off for the next week at least. Last shift was on Saturday at which point it might have been already contagious.

Employee who tested positive last week will be back to work this week after 2 negative tests. It’s fair to say that the infection occurred outside of work since it has been 10 days since the last shift. No other employee has shown any symptoms over that period. Highly unlikely

This just in: Board of health calls for Ontario to upgrade to building code ventilation standards. Only question: What took so long?

Thanks to a Twitter User who came up with the idea of a book where Customers can leave a note on how far they travelled to dine in safely. It can also be used for anyone else who appreciates our efforts. We could even post your comments from abroad.

I am thinking of applying for the CMOH. Apparently it requires very little work to keep the public informed and educated and it pays a great salary. With that, I could subsidize a few hundred Hepa Filters for classrooms

Currently at a health care setting for an appointment. I am the only one misinformed as I am wearing a mask. Or am I? Someone else just walked in in a mask as well. 2 of us among 23 others who are unmasked. The 2 of us will have a better chance of staying healthy

It would be devastating having to close with so many bookings over the next few weeks. When will others see the benefits of better indoor air quality?

So glad that all of our Staff has been wearing masks since mid November and helped to get through the busiest Holiday season on record. Combined with great ventilation and Hepa Filters it provided a safer indoor environment for all. @RestaurantsCA @CFIB

More than 2 years after the acute installation of Hepa Filters we still don’t show any signs of infections at work

It has been a full house since we opened and the air quality is still excellent. Safer indoor dining can be done. Just needs the public health and political will

A new smoking by-law came into effect in Ontario in 1994. We had a vision and used it as an „“Excuse „“ to make our restaurant smoke free and never looked back. Took another 10 years to become the law. We have a vision again and hope it won’t take 10 Years again for #CleanAir
