There seems to be more questions than answers when it comes to the future of vaccine and capacity mandates in the London, Ont. region.
The province says vaccine requirements and capacity limits will be dropped come March 1.

“It's kind of disappointing not to be able to see all these kids,” says Bob Vigars, the parent of a grade 12 basketball player at Central Elgin Collegiate Institute in St. Thomas, Ont.Saunders Sabres Basketball player Isaias Martinez can’t wait for family and friends to be able to see him play in London.
“Having fans boosts our team and when we hear them we play harder,” says Martinez. “We play better defense, and it’s more exciting to know we have support”.
