He adds that some commercial landlords who are running into issues have had to apply to defer their property tax.
He says at this point it’s too soon to have an idea of how much an impact COVID-19 has had on commercial landlords.
Councillor Challinor says when walking around his Ward that he has seen compliance; people are practicing physical distancing.
He encourages residents to do their best to go about their business while paying attention to what is being asked of them by all levels of government.
