The province's Big Box store inspections are not putting retailers in a good light.

For a third weekend, provincial inspectors conducted a blitz of retailers allowed to stay open through the pandemic to make sure they are following provincial guidelines.

Provincial officials say overall there was only 59 percent compliance by the retailers in Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener.

A blitz in Niagara two weekends ago found a mere 54 percent compliance rate.

Labour Minister Monte McNaughton noting, there’s no excuses at this point in the game, every business knows what to do.
