"There were some areas where we knew we would need some more sand."The worst culprit was the so-called "Mother's Day storm" in early May in which the storm lasted for numerous high tide cycles and ate away chunks of beaches on many shore towns.

Karen Redman has announced that Waterloo Region’s COVID-19 state of emergency will finally be declared over on Friday.On Twitter, she said, “With COVID-19 indicators trending in the right direction, I will be rescinding the State of Emergency on Friday, May 27, 2022.” COVID-19: No end in sight for Waterloo Region’s state of emergency Redman noted that the state of emergency was initially declared on March 25, 2020, in response to the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.“Over the last two years, our community has come together to fight COVID-19, making many personal sacrifices and stepping up to get vaccinated,” Redman wrote, noting that Waterloo Public Health would continue to provide guidance in the ongoing fight against the virus.Back in March, most of the municipalities that make up the region as well as Guelph and Brantford all declared an end to their state of emergencies but Redman and Waterloo Region CAO Bruce Lauckner said it was too soon for the region to follow suit.Lauckner noted that it allowed them to be more flexible with staffing in local shelters and hospitals as many were still dealing with the virus while others had worked extra hours to assist.“I prefer to err on the side of caution and allow for some recovery time, allow for some people to recoup. And that may require us to still shift resources to give that time off,” he said in March.
