As part of the Province of Ontario’s collective effort to reduce and prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are working diligently to implement best possible pandemic response practices and approaches in our community.

In that vein, we have been truly fortunate to receive a one-time investment of $25,000 from the NWMO to assist with our local response to COVID-19. Our Fire Chief and Emergency Operations Control Group will work together to determine how we can best utilize these resources to meet the needs of our community.

This investment will support our community’s efforts to better manage the pandemic, such as in the areas of community well-being, health and safety concerns, food insecurities and basic supplies that will help community members cope during these challenging times.

We are facing a truly unprecedented, complex situation together. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting all of our families, businesses, communities and our way of life. During this difficult time, we sincerely appreciate the support of the NWMO in assisting communities involved in the site selection process.

Sincerely,

Mayor Donald Cunningham
