*************************
The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise the public that starting on Monday, Feb. 22, town hall will be open for public access with regular business hours and safety measures in place. All council, committee of the whole and committee meetings will continue to be hosted virtually until further notice. In-person meetings will resume when it is safe to do so.
To promote safety for both the public and staff, physical distancing floor stickers and directional signage have been installed to guide visitors. If you plan on visiting town hall, please continue to maintain six feet of physical distancing while on-site and wear a facemask to help ensure the safety of others.

BMPL will be re-evaluating the situation in early March, identifying how the end of lockdown has impacted the Town, GBHU and regional numbers.
