The Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, provides that the Head of Council may declare an emergency in the municipality and to take such action and make such orders as he or she considers necessary to implement the emergency plan and to protect property and the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the emergency area.

Whereas, as the Head of Council for the Village of Westport, I declared an emergency on 10APR21, 15:00 hrs

Effectively immediately, I order that:

a) Town Hall be closed to the public until January 4, 2022

b) Westport Communications Centre be closed to the public until January 4, 2022

c) Westport Public Library be closed to the public until January 4, 2022 

and that all three closures be reassessed at that time.

Both the Library and Town Hall will offer curb side service. Please call ahead.

Robin Jones,

Mayor, Village of Westport
