Long lines snaked all the way around the Halton Region Cent...
By the time the clinic was slated to open at 4 p.m., a lineup was wrapped halfway around the exterior of the large building.
The majority of those in line were parents with their small children.
Many were not prepared for the cool weather or the long wait.
Traffic was snarled on Bronte Road, as parked cars overflowed from the Halton Regional Centre’s parking lot onto both sides of Bronte Road.
The next clinic is running today from 4-8 p.m. at the Halton Regional Centre.
Dr. Bob Nosal, Halton Region’s medical officer of health, said extra health staff will be added to help shorten wait times. He said that clinic times may be extended if the demand continues.
