Toronto taxi company says it doesn't want to give rides to people at Trinity Bellwoods Park
Trinity Bellwoods Park was such a mess this weekend that one Toronto taxi company asked that people not contact them for rides from there.
Beck Taxi tweeted out yesterday, "Please don't contact us for a ride home if you've spent the day at Trinity Bellwoods Park ignoring physical distancing rules."

"Last night we respectfully requested that people who had been ignoring social distancing regulations at Trinity Bellwoods Park not request a ride home with vulnerable taxi drivers through Beck," Beck Taxi said in a statement.
"This is in line with our messaging since the pandemic started - we are introducing initiatives to reduce the spread as everyone and every company should be."
