Township Services - Closures, Cancellations and Modifications

The Township's top priority during this crisis continues to be the health and safety of the public and our staff. To help mitigate the onset of community spread, the Township has closed, cancelled or modified a number of programs and services.

Closures

The following Township owned facilities are closed to the public until further notice:

community halls (Burgess Hall and Maberly Hall)
playgrounds, outdoor rinks
the Re-Use Centre at the Glen Tay Waste Site for both drop-off and pick-up of items until. Residents are requested to not bring items to the Re-Use Centre during this time.

Cancellations

the fall sessions for choir and karate
start date for 2020/2021 Hockey season has been postponed and will be re-evaluated in December
all Working Group meetings

Modifications

Municipal Office lobby is open for front counter services Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Council Meetings will be scheduled as required with reduced agendas. All presentations and delegations will be rescheduled to a later date. The Township will make every effort to make the meetings available to the public.
all waste sites remain open, with modifications

as waste site amenities are not sanitized, the public is asked to ensure they are adhering to strict social distancing guidelines (6 feet apart) and are taking the following precautions while visiting the waste sites:

- stay home if you are feeling unwell
- wash your hands frequently
- keep a safe distance of 6 feet or 2 metres from those around you
- avoid touching your face
- no hugging or handshakes
for any payments owing to the Township, options include online or telephone banking, mailing a cheque to the Municipal Office or dropping a payment off in the drop box at the Municipal Office. We encourage residents to use these means of payment if at all possible.
on overdue tax accounts no penalty or interest will be incurred for the months of July, August and September
the public is reminded to social distance when using boat launches and only boat or fish by yourself or with people you live with.

Please note that these mitigation measurers may change at any time. Our thanks for your understanding and cooperation as we work to help protect the health and safety of the public and our staff.
