The District of Port Edward is expanding on their COVID response plan starting in early July, with the District Municipal office to be open to the public five days a week for its regular business hours.
The return to regular hours begins on July 6th, previously residents had access to the Municipal Hall on Monday and Tuesday only.
The protocol for service at the Municipal Hall is that residents and visitors will be served one person at a time, those seeking service should make note of the designated waiting spots along the walking path to provide for social distancing.
The announcement through the District's Facebook page also notes that the deadline for Property tax payers in the community is August 4th
And with that, they request that anyone making a payment by cheque or submitting the Home Owner Grant to use the Mail slot on the outer door for the best efforts at social distancing, the District also notes that if requested residents can receive a receipt at a later date following processing.
Residents can also make their tax payments by etransfer at payments@portedward.ca
Port Edward residents are benefiting from an additional month to pay their tax bill, compared to their neighbours in Prince Rupert, where the deadline for Tax Payments is July 2nd.
The District has also provided an update on their June Council session with Mayor Knut Bjorndal's monthly message making note of the wolf attack in the community and the response from the Conservation Officer Service, which continues to make patrols in the District on a regular basis.
As for municipal work ahead in the summer and into the fall, the Mayor notes how the Council will be reviewing and updating some of the District's bylaws, as well as to put out for tender road reconstruction work for the area.
Mr. Bjorndal also pointed residents to the release of the Annual Report which includes the District's Financial statements and Five year plan.
We took a look at that document last week, with this item.
The District newsletter also updates the community on the issue of wolves in the area, with advice on how to keep the community safe, the publication also provides a look at the ongoing efforts at eradicating knotweed and towards Council's focus on a Community Clean Up.
