Beginning Tuesday, June 16, 2020, the Municipal Centre will again be open to the public with new hours (9:00 am – 4:00 pm). This decision is in response to the latest announcement by Premier Ford giving our region the green light to move into Stage 2 of the Province’s reopening plan.

“We are looking forward to offering in-person services again at the Municipal Centre, via temporary kiosks in the main lobby,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “Staff are working to ensure the health and safety of the public and employees. It will be a time of transition for everyone, so we ask for the community’s patience. Our number one priority as we gradually reopen is to continue to limit the spread of the virus”.

Residents will be greeted via temporary kiosks in the Main Lobby. Visitors are asked to follow the markers to maintain a 2-metre distance and wait outside until their turn. Given the new temporary set up, we are limiting the number of people inside to 1 person at a time. We appreciate your continued patience and co-operation during this time.

Residents and businesses can continue to access Municipal services by phone, email and online.

The Municipality is also in the process of reviewing the new guidelines and restrictions regarding opening recreational facilities including the outdoor pool. More information will be provided in the coming weeks.
