TORONTO - Boxing Day shoppers seeking bargains found muted sales along with “we’re hiring” signs and only small groups of people allowed inside stores to maintain capacity limits due to the pandemic.

Morne Viljoen, who recently moved to Toronto from South Africa, was out shopping Boxing Day for the first time in Canada. Stores have had deals since November as “companies try to smooth the demand a little bit” which explains why fewer people were queuing at shopping malls on Sunday, he noted. But Baron said shopping continues to offer some escape and relief as Canadians navigate another pandemic wave.

Ontario brought back public health restrictions last week to curb the spread of COVID-19. Restaurants, retailers, gyms and other indoor settings are only allowed to open at 50-per-cent capacity. Indoor social gatherings are also limited to a maximum of 10 people, while outdoor gatherings can only have 25.
