Cariboo Regional District COVID response update January 11, 2021

The Cariboo Regional District is carefully monitoring reports of increasing numbers of COVID-19 exposures in the region. To assist health authorities in this critical time the district is asking residents and property owners to note the information below, abide by all public health directives, and take whatever steps are available to them to help limit the spread of the virus in our community.

CRD Offices

CRD front reception areas remain open at this time. We encourage enquiries by phone or email wherever possible. Our main switchboard is 250-392-3351 and emails may be addressed to mailbox@cariboord.ca. The CRD website cariboord.ca also has contact information for each department and online forms are also available for many common permits and applications. At present mask use and hand sanitizing is mandatory upon entering CRD property and appointments are highly recommended.

Building Inspections

Scheduled building inspections are continuing at this time. Please contact our Building Department via the main switchboard if you have questions.

Libraries

Compulsory mask use and hand-sanitation policies are currently in place at our libraries and most branches are open for in-person visits at this time. As an alternative to in-person browsing, patrons are encouraged to take advantage of online book holds and the library’s curbside pickup service to minimize the risk of virus spread for patrons, employees, and the public.

Garbage and Recycling

Transfer Stations and refuse sites remain open at this time. Share shed use is being carefully monitored. Loitering or use of the share sheds without face masks and social distancing may result in closure of the sheds to reduce risk to users, site personnel, and the public. 108 Mile Ranch curbside garbage and recycling pickup is unaffected.

Trails

CRD trails remain open at this time. We urge users to maintain social distancing when using trails and avoid congregating or socializing at trailheads during this time.
