The Municipality of Sioux Lookout has updated its emergency orders due to ongoing COVID-19 shutdowns.
Here are the new operating changes effective Monday and lasting until further notice:
• All Municipal facilities (with the exception of the Day Care Centres, Landfill and Airport Terminal Building) will remain closed to the public indefinitely.
• The outdoor ice rinks in Sioux Lookout and Hudson will remain closed to the public.
• Phone calls – all individuals wishing to contact the Municipality of Sioux Lookout (any Department) are asked to call 807.737.2700 and leave a message. Messages will be checked daily, and callers can expect a return call within two business days.
• Emails – please pay careful attention to any “automatic replies” received from staff emails, as some staff will not have access to email and will not be returning emails. All staff email automatic replies will advise of another staff member to contact in their absence.
• All essential services will continue without disruption.
• All remittances due to the Municipality (utilities, taxes, etc.) will remain payable on their due dates. Payments may be made via online banking (for utilities), regular mail, or by using the Municipal Office drop-box, located outside of the main entrance of 25 Fifth Avenue. Additionally, for parking tickets, please remit payment via regular post, or drop-off payment with cash at the drop-box.
Municipal officials thank the public for their patience and collective support to protect the health and safety of the community.
