Measures have been put in place to ensure the continuity of service to taxpayers in municipalities in the Algoma, Manitoulin and Sudbury districts while dealing with the COVID-19 virus.
Minimal staff is on hand to ensure maintenance at all municipal facilities and day-to-day operations, but the public is asked not to attend local offices.
Councils will meet digitally or by phone to deal with ongoing matters rather than attending regular meetings.
Core services are the focus at this time including garbage pickup, ensuring clean water, reliable sanitary systems and enhanced cleaning of all public spaces.
Municipalities ask individuals to contact staff via phone and to access their online sites for updates.
