Council Clips – April 7, 2020
Pandemic Response
As a result of the ongoing pandemic situation:
The paid parking program is delayed to 2021.
· The Safe Park (overnight) program is being postponed and we will monitor emerging housing needs and the changing resources within the community to re-launch the Safe Park Program, or another similar program, to support our seasonal workforce this year. Updates will be posted here: Safe Park Pilot Program
The fire hall has increased full-time staffing to decrease the number of paid on-call staff needed to respond to emergencies.
