The test of friendship during Ontario’s second wave

Written on January 26, 2021. Posted in Lifestyle, Student Life.

COVID-19 cases have spiked once again in Ontario, bringing a stay-at-home order which has relegated us back to our homes and away from socially distanced in-person interactions with friends.
