Alternate Format and Communication supports
How best can we communicate with you? Alternatives to standard print are often referred to as "alternate formats", and methods to assist communication are referred to as "communication supports". Please let us know if you need information in an alternate format or require the assistance of a communication support. We will do our best to support your communication needs.
Alternate formats could include, but are not limited to large print, colour contrast, electronic formats, text transcripts of visual and audio information, or email.
Communication Supports could include, but are not limited to plain language, having a staff member/volunteer read the written information aloud, and other supports that facilitate effective communication.
Temporary Service Disruptions
The Municipality strives to operate its services and facilities without interruption. However, at times disruptions will occur. In these cases, we will make reasonable efforts to notify the public of the disruption and its anticipated duration. The notice will be provided at the location of the disruption, on the municipal website and/or through other means of communication. Information about road construction and road closures will be made available as well.
