The Town continues to concentrate on the essential services our residents rely upon while exercising care as we work towards a full resumption of regular services. We are encouraged by the decline of cases of COVID-19 on Vancouver Island, and wish to express our appreciation to the community for your diligent efforts in following the direction of our Provincial Health Officer.
