Trisa McConkey, Treasurer, Diane Smithson, CAO and Pascal Meunier, Director of Protective Services provided an update on the impact of the Ontario provincewide shutdown on the Town of Carleton Place operations.
The Treasurer explained which portions of the Town's services will be impacted by the shutdown. The Town will be required to close some recreation facilities (Pool and Arena) again. The Library will be required to return to curbside pick up and the school-age childcare program will have to close until the elementary school children go back to school. Outdoor rinks can remain open but only for skating and patrons are required to physical distance.
The Town Hall can remain open and the Town's services (including emergency, waste services, water/sewer and snow removal) are not impacted by the shutdown.
Considering that the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been considered as a "Yellow" zone with very few COVID cases, members of Council supported the following motion.
