Community COVID-19 Update – August 12, 2021
COVID Testing
This weekend, the Health Team will be available for COVID testing on both Saturday and Sunday, August 14-15, from 10am – 4pm at the Community Services Building.
If you require a COVID test please call Community Services to book an appointment, 250 768 0227
It is important to make an appointment as the Health Team will be able to advise you of your optimal window for testing and isolation dates.
