Sarnia's mayor is concerned travel from outside the community could lead to a spike in local COVID cases.
Mike Bradley said they've received complaints about individuals coming to the city from pandemic hot spots like the GTA for appointments at the local DriveTest Centre.
"They're coming into the community from the very area that the premier is saying not to travel from," said Bradley.
"They're coming here because it's a shorter period of time, but it is displacing young people here who need to get their driver's licence. That was brought to my attention this past weekend by a number of citizens, some directly involved in the industry. So, they need to obviously put that on pause for the time being. That's a risk that we don't need in this community."
The influx of visitors followed the tightening of pandemic restrictions in Toronto, Peel Region and Ottawa late last week.
Mayor Bradley said the city's Primary Control Group is sending a letter of concern to the premier and Sarnia-Lambton MPP Bob Bailey.
