After months of being in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, residents of the Oakwood neighbourhood are finally starting to emerge from their ‘lockdown coma’ and embrace the new normal.

With restrictions slowly easing and businesses reopening, the streets are coming back to life with the sounds of children playing, cafes bustling, and the hum of everyday activity.

Neighbours are reconnecting with each other, sharing stories of their time in isolation and finding comfort in knowing they are not alone in this experience.

Community events and gatherings are starting to take place again, providing a sense of unity and support for those who may still be struggling with the effects of lockdown.

Local businesses are adapting to the changes brought on by the pandemic, implementing safety measures to protect customers and employees while still providing much-needed services and goods.

Residents are finding new ways to stay active and engaged, whether it’s through outdoor exercise classes, virtual meetups, or supporting local charities and organizations.

The neighbourhood is buzzing with renewed energy and a sense of hope for the future, as people come together to rebuild and move forward from the challenges of the past year.

While the effects of ‘lockdown coma’ may still linger for some, the Oakwood neighbourhood is proving that they are stronger together and ready to embrace whatever comes next.
