Town facilities open Sept 7

As the Province of Ontario continues to transition into Step Three, the Town of Erin is opening its facilities and Town Hall to the public starting September 7.

Council Meetings, however, will continue as is. It will be live streamed and recordings will be posted online. It will not be open to the public at this moment due to space constraints and safety restrictions.

Residents are encouraged to continue using online and phone options from the comfort of their homes to access services and to limit the number of people within Town facilities as per Provincial requirements.

To ensure the safety and well-being of residents, a number of safety precautions will be in place. Masks will continue to be required, sanitizing stations will be available and anybody looking for in-person service will be required to fill out a COVID19 questionnaire before entering our facility.

To make this process convenient and safe – the questionnaire can be filled in at home online or by scanning the QR code available at the entrance of our facilities. The QR code will lead directly to the questionnaire and as soon as it is filled in and submitted, an email confirmation will be sent. Important to note: this email confirmation has to be shown to staff before accessing any service. This is necessary to ensure that everyone is safe.
