The City of Welland is open for business with in person, walk-in traffic starting Tuesday, September 7th
It's opening day in Welland starting Tuesday, September 7th.
City Hall and other city facilities are reopening after being closed to the walk-in public since the spring.
During facility closures, staff installed floor markers, service counter barriers, and established entry and exit points to simplify safe traffic flow.
All departments have included protocols and preferences for booking appointments, services available without appointments, and posted capacity limits for all community and meeting rooms.
According to officials, the City’s Emergency Control Group (ECG) developed a plan to welcome back visitors to in-person services in a safe and measured manner.
Adam Eckhart, Fire Chief and Community Emergency Management Coordinator says in a media release the reopening plan adheres to the provisions set forth by the province and goes beyond in some areas, such as increasing frequency of cleaning and continuing to promote virtual and non-essential in-person visits.
The City’s safety plan is also available as part of the Welcome Back Welland document, available online at City of Welland: Home
All staff and visitors must complete and pass a passive screening questionnaire, and visitors entering the building and non-staff will check in with security upon entry and a face-covering is required, with limited exceptions.
