“These are stressful and unprecedented times, and we are taking the necessary and important steps to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus,” said Mayor Linda Buchanan.
“It is up to all of us to reduce transmission. Washing your hands regularly and distancing yourself socially remains the most important steps individuals can take. Closing public facilities, cancelling public events, and following the advice of federal and provincial health authorities is critical for our community. Let’s look after one another, and support those who may be in need of help.”
