Food delivery company DoorDash has taken social distancing to the doorstep as heroic delivery personnel have agreed to place a customer's food in a safe place and alert their customer by text or email when it's ready for pick-up.


"We take the health and safety of our community seriously and want to remind you of the existing options available for deliveries. If you prefer a no-contact delivery or need to request one for health reasons you can make that request today in the delivery instructions. Dashers may also reach out to you through a call or text message when you place an order to request a no-contact delivery as well," DoorDash said in a statement.

The U.S.-based company said it's currently "testing enhanced drop-off options" via the DoorDash app and hopes to have it operational in a few days.

Besides not handing the food directly to patrons to protect their health and safety, DoorDash is asking its deliverers to "text a photo to your customer to confirm the food is in its location, and then wait from a comfortable distance for the customer to collect their order." – Continue reading Etan Vlessing’s Samaritanmag feature online.

RIP: April Wine's Myles Goodwyn

Myles was one of Canada's great pop/rock songwriters and a perfectionist in all he did.

April Wine co-founder, longtime frontman and lyricist Myles (Francis) Goodwyn died from cancer on Sunday (Dec. 3) in Halifax at the age of 75.

Originally from Woodstock, New Brunswick, Goodwyn formed April Wine in 1969. Over the band’s 50-plus-year career, April Wine sold an estimated 10 million records in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K., and released 22 studio and live albums that included Live at the El Mocambo. That album was engineered and produced by Eddie Kramer, who was at the recording console with the Rolling Stones when the Brit band famously played the Toronto club under the alias of The Cockroaches. April Wine opened both their shows.
