The City of Campbell River is working to maintain as many community services as possible during the COVID-19 crisis.
Where facilities are closed, the city has posted signs that include contact details.
“From water, sewer and emergency services to garbage collection and some parks work to maintain our natural environment, we’re still working for our community,” says City Manager Deborah Sargent. “While there’s no public access to our facilities, with the exception of the RCMP front counter and the airport at this time, we’re only a telephone call or email message away.”
She says the city is also working out how to continue moving forward with certain projects.
At this time, council meetings will continue with some council members calling in and those in attendance seated at the required social distance.
Meeting agendas will focus on important matters to keep city operations up and running.
Public hearings, delegations to council and advisory committee meetings will be postponed until further notice.
Meetings will be broadcasted on the city’s website.
“Everyone’s top priority is community health and safety. Where it’s possible to safely provide services and we have resources available to keep projects moving forward, we’re planning for ways to continue to do this. Expect to see some city workers out and about, keeping an appropriate distance from others,” Sargent adds.
