Residents upset over videos showing packed crowds in Niagara Falls amid COVID-19

Niagara Falls residents are upset after social media posts showing groups of people not physically distancing.

One of the videos making the rounds was filmed at Clifton Hill.

It shows the tourist site packed with people.

Few people are keeping two metres apart or wearing masks.

Similar videos have been taken around the falls.

CHCH has reached out to city officials for comment.

Niagara Falls is among the regions set to move into Stage 3 of reopening on Friday.

In Stage 3, there can be up to 50 people at an indoor event and 100 people at outdoor events.

Still, the province says public health guidelines of keeping two-metres apart and wearing masks when distancing is not possible still apply.

Niagara Region is set to debate of mandatory mask bylaw for the region on Thursday.

A previous debate on the matter ended with council deferring the vote.
