Plans and timing subject to change based on provincial direction and health and safety guidelines.

With each step, we will work as quickly as possible to reopen planned facilities. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the release of new health and safety guidelines, we thank residents in advance for their patience as we work to get services and amenities fully up and running.

Until the main Municipal Offices and Operations Centre re-open to the public in September, residents can continue to access many city services online, by phone or by appointment.
