Safety Codes
Please Note: The County Centre office is now open to the public, however we are still operating through various means. The public can contact employees working remotely or on-site via phone or meeting platform. Employees are expected to provide services as safely as they can via modified work arrangements which may include reduced on-site staffing or working from home options. Public access will be limited to the foyer and areas up to the reception desk and planning desk. No public access past these points is permitted. ALL visitors to County Centre will be required to sign in. Contact tracing documents for Markerville, Council Chambers, Front Counter and P&D Counter are now to be utilized. The foyer has a capacity of 15 people while maintaining physical distancing of 2 metres. Members of the public are required to use hand sanitizer prior to entry. Washrooms remain closed to all public (with the exception of the main lobby washroom which is open for use during Council Meetings only). Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Please review our current service levels as outlined below. |
