Until further notice, the Shuniah Municipal Office and MacGregor Recreation Centre will be closed to the public.
Landfills: Until further notice we ask all residents to forgo reporting directly to the on site attendant. Kindly display your permit and proceed directly to the designated areas for disposal. Load requiring tipping fee invoices will be recorded and invoiced through the Municipal Office during this time. No scavenging or loitering permitted.
The Municipal Office will continue to be staffed to receive calls and to support our essential services in our community. Municipal staff are committed to working with the public to ensure continuity of essential services and will consider alternative service delivery where possible.
Please call the Municipal Office at 683-4545 to make an appointment for essential services that cannot be provided over the phone or via email.
Many of our services are available on-line and we are making alternate service arrangements based on the needs and safety of our staff and community. Tax payments can still be made using internet banking or by dropping off a cheque in the mail or the secure mailbox at the office. A phone call versus a visit is a simple yet effective way to reduce the opportunity for spreading the virus.
Within Municipally owned public facilities, we have instituted a plan for additional disinfecting of regularly touched surfaces and implementing social distancing wherever possible. We are also requiring that all Staff execute additional handwashing and cleanliness within our facilities.
We ask all residents to follow the recommendation of the Thunder Bay District Health Unit, Government of Canada, Ontario Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization.
