New stay-at-home order signals trouble for winter tourism industry in northern Ontario


As the province-wide stay-at-home order comes into effect, facilities in northern Ontario say ice fishing hut rentals are way down.

Many of them depend on anglers from southern Ontario who travel to rent out their shacks and stay on the lake and fish.

"It's not a good feeling at all. I took over on January 1st and we couldn't come out right away due to ice fish conditions," explained Reed's Outdoor Ice Fishing Adventures Owner Yves Perrault.

"Then the lockdown was extended."
