A national movement known as Power of 100 has arrived in Canadian County.

For the first time since the Oklahoma Department of Health began using its COVID-19 pandemic map, Canadian County is in the orange category. The state map shows that most of Oklahoma is in the orange, or moderate-risk category.

The map was released last week and is based on the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus during the previous seven days.

Canadian County Commissioner Marc Hader said he would “respect the sweat equity” put in by people seeking an election related to Sunday alcohol sales through the process of an initiative petition.

Supporters plan to circulate a petition asking Canadian County commissioners to call an election so voters can decide whether to allow Sunday sales of alcohol by the drink at county restaurants and bars, and Sunday sales of alcoholic beverages by retail stores.
