Oliver Paipoonge Services COVID-19 Update

January 18, 2021

Due to the recent provincial lockdowns, we have made changes to some of our services, but most continue to be delivered.

Recreation Facilities:

• Community Halls and the Nor West Arena are closed
• Outdoor Rinks are open but provincial restrictions apply
• The Cemetery is open

Office Services:

While due to COVID-19 the Municipal Office remains closed to the public, we are still able to provide services. Please call us @ 807-935-2613 to find out how we can meet your needs. Besides using telephone, email and Zoom to conduct your busines, you can come to the Office. Our front lobby has an enclosed vestibule, which allows you to interact with us without sharing the same airspace. A slot in vestibule side allows documents to be exchanged and payments to be made. Masks must be worn in the vestibule. Please do not come if you have any COVID-19 symptoms.

Waste and Recycling:

Both landfills are operating normal hours.

Council Meetings:

Due to the provincial lockdown in-person Council meetings have been suspended.  Zoom meetings of Council can be viewed on YouTube using the video link on the website.

Resource Links:

• The Ontario Ministry of Health reports on the status if cases in Ontario each morning at 10:30 a.m.: ontario.ca/coronavirus
• The Health Unit’s website contain links to credible sources of information providers: tbdhu.com/coronavirus

We ask all residents to follow the recommendations of the Thunder Bay District Health Unit, Ontario Ministry of Health and Health Canada.
