“We recognize this is a significant shift in our approach to dealing with the public,” said administrator Jim Martin. “But we are in extraordinary times and it’s imperative to put the health and safety of our visitors and staff first. Like all new measures being introduced in the province over the last week, we expect the public to understand why this change is necessary and that they not show up at our office unless they have made an appointment ahead of time.”
Note regional district landfills and transfer stations remain open.
“We ask the users of these facilities to ensure they are vigilant in social distancing practices when interacting with landfill and transfer station staff,” said Martin. “These are important services and we need our people healthy to maintain these critical operations.”
