Ontario reports 811 new COVID-19 cases, 71% among people who are not fully vaccinated

Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.

Ontario is reporting 811 new cases today, with the seven-day average of daily cases increasing by 10 to 756.

Of Ontario’s 34 health units, 2 are reporting triple-digit increases — Toronto (156) and Peel (100) — with 13 reporting double-digit increases — Hamilton (71), Windsor-Essex (68), York (59), Ottawa (52), Durham (46), Niagara (42), Halton (33), Waterloo (27), Middlesex-London (24), Eastern Ontario (19), Simcoe Muskoka (34), Brant (11), and Peterborough (10) — and 5 reporting no new cases at all.

Of the new cases, 71% are people who have not been fully vaccinated (59% have not received any doses and 12% have received only one dose) and 21% are people who have been fully vaccinated with two doses, with the vaccination status unknown for 8% of the cases because of a missing or invalid health card number.

Hospitalizations have dropped by 43 to 266, but the number of hospitalizations is likely higher as more than 10% of hospitals did not provide numbers of the daily bed census yesterday. The number of ICU patients has increased by 7 to 179 and the number of ICU patients on ventilators has increased by 7 to 104.

Ontario is reporting 3 COVID-related deaths, but 2 of these occurred more than 2 months ago and are being reported today as part of a data clean-up, so there was 1 new COVID-related death yesterday.

Almost 21 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 32,450 from yesterday, with over 10 million people fully vaccinated, an increase of 18,089 from yesterday, representing almost 68% of Ontario’s total population.

A outdoor double bill of mixed dance is coming to Peterborough and Lakefield on Saturday, September 11th with Heirloom, featuring a premiere performance by Toronto’s Lua Shayenne Dance Company followed by a collaboration between acclaimed American dance artists Caleb Teicher and Nic Gareiss.

Presented by Toronto’s Fall for Dance North in partnership with Peterborough’s Public Energy Performing Arts, Heirloom takes place at 1 p.m. at Millennium Park in Peterborough and again at 6 p.m. at Isabel Morris Park in Lakefield. In case of rain on Saturday, the performances of Heirloom will move to Sunday at the same time and location.

To adhere to pandemic health and safety requirements, the audience for each performance is limited to 120 people. Tickets are $15 per person, available now at ffdnorth.com/programs/heirloom-peterborough.

“Thanks to the support and vision of our regional partners, Heirloom has blossomed into a performance series we are incredibly proud to present,” says Ilter Ibrahimof, artistic director of Fall for Dance North, in a media release. “It not only takes public health recommendations into account through an innovative new outdoor setting, but also advances Fall for Dance North’s mission of making diverse dance forms accessible to as wide an audience as possible.”

“As part of our outdoor Pivot 2.0 Series, Public Energy is very excited to be bringing Fall For Dance North’s world class percussive dance program to the Peterborough/Nogojiwanong area for performances in Peterborough and the neighbouring town of Lakefield,” adds Bill Kimball, executive director of Public Energy Performing Arts.

Around 60 minutes in length, Heirloom begins with the world premiere of “Waves” by the Lua Shayenne Dance Company. Lua Shayenne is a choreographer for the National Ballet School’s 2021 Sharing Dance program and tours internationally with Lars Jan’s Holoscenes, a multidisciplinary water installation on climate change.

VIDEO: “Waves” and “Vagues” work in progress

Shayenne’s dance company draws on the aesthetics and values of West African dance and culture — integrating live drumming, singing , and storytelling — to create dance pieces that seek to upset and challenge multiple conventions and stereotypes.

David MacFarlane of the Toronto Star called the Lua Shayenne Dance Company “a small group of gifted, fearlessly energetic young dancers” and Martha Schabas of the Globe and Mail said the choreography is “riveting to watch” with complex rhythms “attacked with nimble feet and swinging arms.”

After the premiere of Waves, which will be followed by a brief intermission, U.S. dancers and choreographers Caleb Teicher and Nic Gareiss will present their acclaimed duo project in Ontario for the first time.

 Commissioned by Fall for Dance North, Caleb Teicher and Nic Gareiss's duo project draws from tap, jazz, swing, Lindy Hop, Appalachian clogging, and Irish step dance to seamlessly weave witty informality with virtuosic technique and storytelling. (Photos: : Hillary Rees)

The pair, who describe themselves as kindred spirits, first came together at a week-long retreat for percussive tap, clog, flatfoot, and step dancers.

Based in New York City, Teicher is a founding member of Michelle Dorrance’s critically acclaimed tap dance company Dorrance Dance and has performed with the National Symphony Orchestra, composer andpianist Conrad Tao, indie legends Ben Folds and, most recently, with Regina Spektor on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Originally from Michigan, Gareiss draws from many percussive dance traditions and has performed in 15 countries around the world, with the New York Times hailing him for his “dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance.”

“The program with Caleb Teicher and Nic Gareiss will be of special interest to this area as it has such a strong step-dancing culture, with performers who are recognized around the country,” Kimball says, Most notable, of course, is Lakefield’s own Leahy family.

What’s open and closed on Labour Day 2021

(Photo: Lester Balajadia)

Labour Day is a federal statutory holiday falling on the first Monday of September. Since Labour Day is a statutory holiday, all government offices and services and all liquor stores are closed, although a few beer stores are open. Most grocery stores are also open — except in the City of Peterborough, where all major grocery stores are closed on Labour Day. Most malls and big box stores are closed.

For your convenience, we provide this list of holiday hours for 265 selected businesses and services across the Kawarthas. This information comes from their websites and social media accounts, which may or may not be up to date, so please always call them first to confirm their hours (we’ve included phone numbers), especially when you are travelling any distance. Where you see “call to confirm”, that means we either couldn’t find any information or we don’t have a lot of confidence the hours listed on a business’s website are up to date.

If your business or organization is listed and the hours are incorrect, please let us know by using our content feedback form. We do not list restaurants as there are too many to include.

Ontario reports 807 new COVID-19 cases, including 14 in greater Kawarthas region over 2 days

Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.

Ontario is reporting 807 new cases today, with the seven-day average of daily cases increasing by 3 to 730.

Of Ontario’s 34 health units, 2 are reporting triple-digit increases (Toronto with 175 cases and Peel with 135 cases), with 12 reporting double-digit increases — York (85), Windsor-Essex (72), Durham (50), Hamilton (46), Ottawa (39), Niagara (28), Simcoe Muskoka (23), Halton (22), Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (19), Middlesex-London (18), Waterloo (17), and Chatham-Kent (10) — and 5 reporting no new cases at all.

Of the new cases, 70% are people who have not been fully vaccinated (62% have not received any doses and 8% have received only one dose) and 22% are people who have been fully vaccinated with two doses, with the vaccination status unknown for 7% of the cases.

Hospitalizations have increased by 6 to 326, the number of ICU patients has increased by 7 to 169, and the number of ICU patients on ventilators has jumped by 18 to 105.

Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region has announced Susan Zambonin will be the non-profit organization’s new chief executive officer effective October 4.

Zambonin, who is currently the organization’s chief operating officer, has been involved with Habitat for Humanity for 18 years. She was previously chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity Kingston Limestone Region and Habitat for Humanity PEI, and also served as executive officer of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association in PEI.

A Rotarian and volunteer, Zambonin has won several awards, including a Paul Harris Fellow from the Rotary Club of Charlottetown and an International Outstanding Contribution Award, Mentorship Award, and Award of Excellence from Habitat for Humanity Canada.

“With Susan’s extensive leadership experience, construction knowledge, and determination to build more affordable homes, we are confident that we can help more families across the Peterborough and Kawartha Region achieve affordable homeownership,” says Jill Bennett, chair of the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region, in a media release.

“Susan has a proven commitment to Habitat’s core values, helping over 110 families into affordable homeownership through 66 builds in Canada and four global village builds.”

Zambonin will take over from Sarah Budd, who announced in July she would be leaving the chief executive officer position on October 1.

Budd led Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region for almost 15 years, overseeing the organization’s inclusion of the City of Kawartha Lakes and the County of Haliburton in its service area, the expansion from one ReStore to three ReStores, and Habitat for Humanity Canada’s first-ever multi-residential development at Leahy’s Lane in Peterborough.

“The board would like to thank Sarah for her amazing contributions and commitment during her time as CEO,” reads a media release. “Most recently, her leadership and vision were instrumental in managing the organization through the pandemic and moving the organization from a builder of single-family homes to a developer of multi-residential communities.”
