Out of Town Overnight Visitors

Out of Town Overnight Visitors:

Currently there is no legislation that mandates self-isolation.  As such, the Police do not have the ability to order people to do it.  We are working with local business to ask them to assist by not permitting overnight camping and screening people before they enter the store.  We have assigned an officer as a COVD19 Liaison officer who will reach out to businesses and provide some direction.  If they wish us to police their lots at night, we will certainly assist.

There is currently nothing in legislation that allows police to enforce self-isolation.  The area where campers are staying upon their return to Canada is private property.  Police would need to be directed by the owners of that property in order to take any action.

We continue to work with all levels of Government and our local businesses in order to rectify this situation.
