Town Begins Preparations for Re-opening

• 2020-05-08

The province has declared we have reached Orange level.  What that means is that subject to the Public Health and WorkSafe NB COVID-19 general guidance, the following activities are allowed:

• Elective surgeries and other non-emergency health services
• Two-household bubble
• Gatherings with social distancing of 10 or fewer
• Golf courses, outdoor tennis courts, marinas
• Carpooling
• Outdoor religious services
• Recreational fishing and hunting
• Elective surgeries and other non-emergency health services
• Post-secondary education and some cultural venues
• Offices
• Retail businesses 
• Restaurants
• Campgrounds and outdoor recreational activities
• Daycare, childcare and day camps
• ATV trails.

This is indeed great news. However, there are significant obligations on the Town to develop plans for sanitization, monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance with the new order and your safety. If we don’t do this right, the province may need to re-instate restrictions. This will take some time to ensure we do it right. We know how important this is and we are very excited as well! Please continue to do your part by maintaining social distance.
