Check this page often to receive accurate and up to date information

Updated March 11, 2022

How can I speak at a Council meeting - in person or virtually?

Public attendance is permitted in person subject to room capacity. Guests may be asked to remain in the lobby until their item is discussed if there is not enough room. Masks are required in Municipal Hall. The public may also call 236-583-2002 to speak during Public Comment or to an item where public comment is permitted. Applicants or representatives for items on the meeting agenda may attend the meeting in person or through electronic participation, which will be coordinated with staff prior to the meeting.

To watch the livestream, click the link under the Video heading on the Council Meeting Calendar.  PLEASE NOTE the livestream button will only be visible once the livestream has started.  Following the meeting, the Video link will direct you to the recording.

Where can I find out about a vaccination clinic near me?

Are recreation programs suspended?

Recreation programs including adult sports and fitness classes may be impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and public health orders. View the Activity Guide for the latest information, or call 250-766-5650.

Are masks required when visiting or doing business at District-operated facilities? 

No. Effective March 11, 2022, the provincial public health office indicated masks are no longer required indoors. Find out more at B.C.'s response to COVID-19 - Province of British Columbia (gov.bc.ca)

Can I come in to Municipal Hall to pay my bill? 

Protection of staff and the public is a priority.  While we recommend residents use online banking to pay water utility and tax bills from the safety and privacy of their home and device, Municipal Hall is now open with the following protocols currently in place:

  • increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces
  • physical distancing measures
  • limited general public access to meet safe density guidelines
  • advance appointments required (virtual appointments preferred)
  • signage and demarcation of traffic flow inside the building
  • hours of operation: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.   

Where can I find the orders from the provincial health officer?

A full list of orders and letters issued by the provincial health officer (PHO) is available here: www.Gov.bc.ca/phoguidance
Is garbage and recycling service impacted?

For up-to-date information on Waste Management visit the RDCO website

How do I report a problem/request service? 

To let us know about a municipal service issue you have experienced, or observed firsthand, please use the online Report a Problem/Request Service form so we can address the issue as soon as possible and track the response.  Thank you for your patience as it may take longer than usual to respond due to reduced staff levels available.
