Ontario drivers are being told to stay on the lookout for military vehicles on the roads this week as hundreds of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members deployed to long-term care facilities in the Greater Toronto Area start to head home. Many of those troops were eventually deployed to seven long-term care homes hit hard by COVID-19. Their observations were compiled into a damning report released last month that has sparked several lawsuits, as well as calls for an overhaul of how Ontario's long-term care homes are managed. CAF said an email to CBC News on Sunday that their mission to provide support in five long-term care locations in the Greater Toronto Area is now complete. The CAF added that personnel are still present and providing support in Hawthorne Place in Toronto and Woodbridge Vista Care Community in Woodbridge, Ont.
