The Tokyo Olympics kick off July 20th.
Things may look a bit different than they originally planned. Due to Covid-19 and a surge of cases in Tokyo Japan, they have announced their fourth state of emergency. It’s looking like they may not allow spectators in the Olympic venues. (More details on that this afternoon).
With that said, I’m sure most of us were planning on cheering on our Canadian athletes from the comfort of our own homes. We even have a couple South Shore athletes representing this year!!!
