Haldimand announces COVID service impacts, facility closures

Effective Jan. 5, the entire province will move to a modified Step 2 of Ontario's Roadmap to Reopen in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. As a result, there will be some changes to Haldimand County programs and services until Jan. 26.

The administration building will remain open for general customer service walk-ins, although planning services, building services and licensing services will be offered by appointment only, effective immediately.

All municipal arenas will close, as will all museums. Capacity at library branches will be reduced to 50 per cent.

The county is encouraging residents to use online options for municipal services at HaldimandCounty.ca/COVID-19 under the County Service Options" tab.

Members of the public can check the website for a list of service impacts or call customer service at 905-318-5932 to confirm whether they require an appointment.

Residents are encouraged to use the contact form at HaldimandCounty.ca/connect if they wish to reach a specific division by email.
