Preamble
On March 17, 2020, an emergency was declared in Ontario under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Second and third emergencies were declared on January 12, 2021 and April 7, 2021.
Ontario’s front-line and essential service workers played a vital role in maintaining the flow and delivery of goods and services throughout each state of emergency and they continue to be a crucial part of the province’s economic recovery.

Front-line and Essential Service Worker Week
1 The third full week of March in each year is proclaimed as Front-line and Essential Service Worker Week.
2 Omitted (provides for coming into force of provisions of this Act).
3 Omitted (enacts short title of this Act).
