The District of Lake Country is supporting the effort to reduce spread of COVID19 by closing Municipal Hall to the public effective immediately
"As all levels of government continue to prepare for the escalation of COVID-19, an announcement was made yesterday that a number of municipally-owned facilities in Lake Country would be closed to the public, but Municipal Hall would remain open," said Tanya Garost, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer. "The situation is rapidly changing and modifications are being made daily. Therefore, as our priority remains the health and safety of our staff and community, we will continue to do all we can to reduce the spread of COVID-19 to lessen the impact on our healthcare system, so Municipal Hall will be closed to the public effective immediately."
• All essential services in Lake Country will continue to be provided (water, wastewater, emergency response, road maintenance) in addition to limited services for permitting, bylaw enforcement, inspections and business licensing;
• Most District of Lake Country municipal services are available on-line through the District's website. District staff can be reached at 250.766.5650 or email [email protected] and staff will endeavor to respond as soon as possible;
