Toronto and Peel could find out as early as today if the province will be tweaking some of the restrictions

The Premier signaling yesterday during a stop in Hamilton, he is in favour of allowing outdoor dining and fitness classes.

Doug Ford says as long as mayors and Medical Officers of Health are in agreement he has no problem with cutting residents in grey zones some slack.

There was also talk yesterday of allowing hair salons to offer outdoor services.

However, that met with a less than enthusiastic response.

Many salon owners saying we don't have the space to cut hair outside.
