We’ve all been through some drastic lifestyle changes over the past few weeks; social distancing and social isolation aren’t behaviours that the majority of us have ever had to adhere to.
On Monday, March 23, Meaford councillors should have been in the council chamber for their scheduled meeting, however the arrival of COVID-19 on our doorstep has resulted in a number of directions from other levels of government focused on minimizing the impact of the virus. As a result, councillors, like most other citizens, are staying home, self isolating and practising social distancing.
The Municipality of Meaford has announced that it will not be charging interest or penalties on water/wastewater or tax bills for the month of March, 2020. This period may be extended as the situation progresses. They said that they will also not be conducting any water shutoffs at this time.
The Municipality of Meaford’s top priority is the health and safety of our community and our staff. In order to prevent the spread of the COVID 19 virus, public health experts and the Province have emphasized the importance of practising social distancing.
