On Sunday, February 23 Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua and Ward 4 Councillor Sandra Yeung Racco joined Catherine Hou, president of the Chinese Cuisine & Hospitality Association of Canada, to visit KUU Sushi, a local restaurant taking part in the Asialicious Asian Restaurant Food Festival, to show support for Asian-Canadian small businesses in Vaughan. This visit follows the City's annual Lunar New Year event on Feb. 2, held in celebration of one of the most elaborate, colourful and important festivities to the Asian community. "Small businesses remain the backbone of our thriving economy and represent more than 80 per cent of all local job creators. We are here today to reaffirm public confidence in the safety of our community and to encourage residents to support small business owners by shopping and dining locally," said Mayor Bevilacqua. His comments follow the recent concerns about the COVID-19 virus. York Region Public Health is closely monitoring the situation in collaboration with provincial and national health agencies and reports that the risk of acquiring the virus in the community remains low for York Region residents.
