In a statement, MayorShaun Collier said town of-ficials immediately re-sponded when told of the high rates, offering Ajax'sfull support."The additional inter- ventions, including com-munity outreach, in-creased testing, eventualvaccination clinics and wraparound supports, areall critical in high-riskneighbourhoods and vul-nerable populations. Fur-ther, it provides isolationlocations for people in mul-ti-family homes, and in- creased education in differ-ent languages, which isneeded and welcomed inAjax," Collier said. "I prefer to be aggressive and put in place targetedstrategies in high-COVIDprevalent areas. Now is notthe time to shy away from certain realities. It has been a year; we knowwhat's required to stop thecommunity spread," Col-lier added. "The Town is in regular contact with theRegion to provide pop-uptesting sites and eventual vaccination clinics. In ad-dition, Council recentlypassed a motion requestingthe provincial and federal governments to fund sickdays, and I also supported asimilar motion by Onta- rio's Big City Mayors."While measures havebeen taken, Ajax and Pick-ering continue to have the most COVID cases in Dur-ham. On Feb. 12, Ajax hadby far the most cases inDurham, with 3,254. Pick- ering was second with 2,485while Oshawa was thirdwith 2,231. In Pickering, the highpositivity rate is in the L1Xarea, located north ofFinch Avenue — running from east of Brock Road towest of Whites Road. It hada positivity rate of 12.2 per cent for the week of Jan. 24to 30, the ICES datashowed.Mayor Dave Ryan said in a statement, "I have had anopportunity to speak withDr. (Robert) Kyle, Durham Region's Medical Officer ofHealth. While they havenot been able to pinpoint aspecific reason why CO- VID-19 positivity rates hadbeen consistently high forseveral weeks in DurhamWest, the decision was made to designate it a highpriority community fortesting and related servic- es."As a result, the positivi-ty rates have been fallingsignificantly, which is very encouraging. As lockdownrestrictions begin to ease, Istrongly urge everyone to remain vigilant in adher-ing to COVID-19 health andsafety protocols," Ryanadded. –With files fromJillian Follert.

A group of youths areorganizing the Feb. 22event at Pickering City hall, slated to run fromnoon to 2 p.m.Ally Zaheer is one of theorganizers of Shoe Strike: Say No to MZO's. She andfriend Devin Mathura haveenlisted others from Dun-barton High School to takepart. She noted in-personprotesting couldn't be helddue to the pandemic. "We were inspired by aclimate strike in Guelph.They used the idea of ashoe strike where they col- lected shoes and placedthem outside city hall as a representation of all thepeople that are in supportof the protest," Zaheer said.Pickering is proposing to build a large warehouseat Bayly Street and SquiresBeach Road. It's the site of a provin-cially significant wetland. The developer is TripleProperties Inc., which is al- so developing the adjacentDurham Live entertain-ment project.The province approvedthe project using a Minis-ter's Zoning Order, whichbypasses the planning pro- cess and doesn't allow anyappeals."We understand thatMZOs can be used in a ben- eficial way, but in this in-stance and many instances throughout COVID, theyhave been kind of hidingbehind everything they'vebeen doing. We don't want to let them do that and weare strongly opposed to thedevelopment and all the havoc it will reek on the en-vironment," she added.Organizers are collect-ing shoes and those in good condition will be donated toDiabetes Canada and otherlocal charities. Shoes can bedropped off at 1096 Moore- lands Cres. in Pickering, 45Admiral Rd. in Ajax and 64Emmett Place in Whitby. For more information,contact Zaheer at ally.m.za-heer@gmail.com.

People opposed to devel-opment on the DuffinsCreek wetlands complex inPickering blocked the en- trance to the site on Thurs-day, Feb. 11."The drilling truckshave been going in thisweek," said Ginny Colling,who lives north of Port Per-ry. Ten vehicles blocked en-trance to the work sitewhere drilling has begun,gravel access roads have been built, and heavy ma- chinery has been makingits way onto the land.The Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs ap-proved development in thisarea to accommodate awarehouse facility through a Ministerial Zoning Order(MZO) in late October.The development dubbed Project Lonestar ispart of the Durham Live de-velopment at SquiresBeach Road and Bayly Street in Pickering."This was a provinciallysensitive wetland whichmeant that for 25 years anyconstruction and develop-ment was prohibited inthat area," Colling said. She noted the develop-ment will destroy habitatsfor many different spe-cies, including migratory birds. The blockade was orga-nized by EnvironmentalAction Now Ajax-Picker- ing, which is opposed to de-velopment on this land andthrough the increasing useof MZOs. The current provincialgovernment is being criti-cized for increasingly ap- proving more MZOs thanever before. MZOs essen-tially circumvent the regu-lar municipal planning process at a municipal lev-el."They're really beingabused in order to push de- velop and pave over wet-lands and natural areas,"said Colling. The City of Pickeringclaims this part of the wet-land complex is not signif-icant, but residents dis- agree. "When we have torren-tial downpours in the sum-mer where does all the wa- ter go?" asked Oshawa resi-dent Crystal Fielding.Fielding, somewhat newto activism, felt this cause is one she needed to get in-volved in."It was incredible to hear the volume of vehiclesupport as they were pass-ing by," she said. "It waslarge volumes of vehicles honking and waving sup-porters."She grew up playing inthe woods, and says her children won't have thesame experience.The protesters say there are others where the build-ing can go, and it doesn'thave to be on a wetland."I think there's quite a lot of support, quite a lot of awareness and concern about the situation," saidSusan Spicer. "Because it isso egregious." Spicer is the priest at St.George's Anglican Churchin Pickering."It's an assault on the Earth. I think it's immoral.I really do," she said.Durham Police attended the scene, and the crowdremoved their vehicles, butremained on the scene withtheir signs. Spicer believes as a re-sult of the blockade andprotest, more residents will look into MZOs and theplans for the wetlands.The group has severalevents planned, including a shoe strike, where shoeswill be placed at PickeringCity Hall on Feb. 22, as wellas a march on March 6.

PROTESTERS BLOCK CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE TO DUFFINS CREEK WETLAND IN PICKERING KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com NEWS DEVELOPMENT ISUNDERWAY TO BUILDWAREHOUSE ONLOCAL WETLANDS Ontario's top court has ordered a new trial for aPickering man convicted ofhuman trafficking offenc-es.While he acquitted Ter-rell Ochrym of some of thecharges he faced, Superior Court judge Alex Sosnaconvicted him of exercisingcontrol over a 17-year-oldsex worker, despite the young woman's testimonythat she was not coerced,the Ontario Court of Ap- peal found in a ruling re-leased Jan. 27.The judge heard evi-dence that Ochrym assis- ted the sex worker by pro-viding rides to motels andhelping advertise sexual services, the ruling said. Inconvicting Ochrym, the tri-al judge appeared to focussolely on the accused man's actions, without regard to the nature of the relation- ship between him and thesex worker, the courtfound.Ochrym was 38 when he was arrested along with anassociate, Oral Richards,in 2017. Durham police al-leged at the time the twomen exercised control overthe young woman, convinc-ing her to enter the sex trade. The charges againstRichards were dropped af-ter he gave a statement topolice, according to the Court of Appeal ruling.During Ochrym's trialcourt heard that the young woman and Richards want-ed to enter the sex trade,but were ill-equipped to doso and asked Ochrym for help, the ruling says.When he testified,Ochrym did admit to as- sisting with the plan, in-cluding driving the youngwoman to motels. Duringthe trial, Sosna also heard testimony that the young woman sent photos of her- self in sexual poses toOchrym's phone. "(Ochrym) admittedthat he let Mr. Richards use his cellphone and Back-page account to advertisesexual services to be pro-vided," the ruling says. Ochrym was convictedof two human traffickingoffences: exercising con- trol over a person offeringsexual services, and know-ingly advertising sexualservices. Ochrym was sen- tenced in December of 2019to two and a half years inprison but was given credit for two years of pretrialcustody, leaving him withsix months to serve.In his judgment, Sosna acquitted Ochrym of acharge of procuring a per-son under 18 to work in the sex trade, finding a reason-able doubt that the accusedman knew the young wom-an's true age. The judge found Ochrym guilty in- stead of a similar Criminal Code offence that makes noreference to the complain-ant's age. At the same time,however, Sosna found no evidence Ochrym had re-cruited the young womanto work in the sex trade, theruling notes. No evidence was intro-duced at trial indicatingOchrym received any mon- ey from the young woman,and he was acquitted of acharge of deriving a benefitfrom prostitution. The young woman testi-fied she was not heldagainst her will and was free to leave when shewished, the Appeal Courtruling says.The Appeal Court noted that during final submissi-ons in the trial, the Crownargued Ochrym's claim that he'd merely helped thewoman pursue sex workwas false. The defendantwas not given adequate op- portunity to refute the Crown's assertion in final arguments, the courtfound.On appeal, duty counselacting for Ochrym argued Sosna had erred in enter-ing a conviction on thecount relating to exercis-ing control. The judge ap- peared to have convictedOchrym on that charge"simply because he facili- tated the (young woman) inproviding sexual services,"the Court of Appeal rulingnotes. The Appeal Courtagreed with a defence sub-mission that Ochrym's ac- tions did not meet the testfor conviction under theCriminal Code for exercis-ing control over a sex work- er.

Retail settings make up 26 per cent of the 90 outbreaks reported since May 2020,while manufacturing and industrial set-tings represent 22 per cent.Eleven per cent of outbreaks were in corporate or office settings and eight percent were in food and beverage services. The new data shows a significant in- crease in workplace and event outbreaksin Durham in the last three months.From May 2020 to September 2020 therewere 10 outbreaks total. There were seven outbreaks in October,then 22 in November, 30 in December and21 in January.
