Back to SearchHalton Hills, ON - As the numbers of COVID-19 cases continue to rise daily, the Government of Ontario is instituting a province-wide shutdown, 28 days for southern Ontario and 14 days for northern Ontario, to commence on Saturday, December 26 at 12:01 am.
In consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, local medical officers of health and other health experts, shutdown measures are being taken to limit community transmission of the virus in order to safeguard health system capacity and protect the province's most vulnerable populations. Ontario residents are being urged by Premier Ford to “stay home and only go out for work, groceries and prescriptions.”
“Moving into shutdown on Boxing Day is not a step any of us wanted to happen,” said Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette. “But now more than ever, it is critical that we all continue to work together to help stop the spread of the virus by staying home. I want to thank our businesses and residents who continue to follow public health advice in our efforts to keep our Town safe.”
During shutdown, Town services will be provided in accordance with the province-wide shutdown measures announced today. The Town will continue to work with our numerous participants and user groups to determine the impacts to specific service areas.
