The mental health of people should not be taken lightly, especially in times like this. Businesses are being categorized as essential and non-essential, and many smaller local businesses such as gyms are being forced to close their doors while other stores are eligible for capacity limitations. Gyms should be considered essential because it gives people a sense of life, and purpose; it's a place where people not only grow physically but also mentally. Mental health is a very important topic and many people struggle with it, however now that people really need support, the one place that benefited all has been categorized as non-essential. We Canadians understand that we need to get through this COVID pandemic, however increasing the likely hood of depression and mental issues is not the way to go, and so we ask Doug Ford and Ontario, that gyms should be considered essential, and with capacity limitation and other restriction, be allowed to open its doors once again.
